Categories side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 pound fingerling potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Good olive oil
8 ounces chorizo sausages, such as d'Artagnan, halved lengthwise, then sliced 1/2 inch thick diagonally
1/3 cup dry white wine, such as Chablis
8 ounces cold raclette cheese, rind removed and thinly sliced
6 to 8 sprigs fresh thyme
12 cornichons, sliced in fans
Crusty French bread and Dijon mustard, for serving

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Place the potatoes in a medium pot, cover with water by one inch, add 1 tablespoon salt, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when tested with a wooden skewer. Drain and cover with a kitchen towel to steam for 5 minutes. Cut in half lengthwise and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a large (12-inch) sauté pan, add the chorizo, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning often, until browned. Drain all but a tablespoon of the fat from the pan, add the potatoes, and toss to combine with the chorizo and fat. Off the heat, stir in the wine, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Divide the sausage and potatoes among four gratin dishes. Arrange the raclette in one layer over the potatoes and chorizo. Distribute the thyme sprigs on top. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is hot and bubbly.
Remove the gratins from the oven, place the cornichons on top, and serve hot with the bread and mustard.

RACLETTE

Raclette image

Raclette is the ultimate cheesy sharing platter and an après-ski tradition. Try it for an informal party served with potatoes, cured meats and crusty baguette

Provided by Miriam Nice

Categories Buffet, Cheese Course, Starter, Treat

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

800g raclette cheese , sliced
1kg new potatoes , halved if large
1 tbsp butter
1 curly lettuce (or endive), leaves separated
1 Baby Gem lettuce , leaves separated
2 red peppers , deseeded and sliced
2 yellow peppers , deseeded and sliced
150g jar pickled silverskin onions , drained
150g jar cornichons , drained
2 baguettes , or other crusty loaves, sliced
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
100ml sunflower oil
1 tbsp chives , finely chopped
250g assorted sliced cured meats (we used a mixture of salami, garlic sausage and Bayonne ham, but sliced gammon or Parma ham also works well)
1 x raclette grill machine with paddles

Steps:

Start by making the vinaigrette. Put the mustard and red wine vinegar into a bowl or jug and whisk together. Add salt and pepper then slowly add the sunflower oil, whisking as you go until the mixture is thick and smooth. Stir in the chopped chives and store in the fridge until needed.
Boil the potatoes for 15-18 mins or until tender. Drain, leave to steam dry for a few mins then add the butter, keep warm until serving.
Arrange all the other ingredients in bowls, plates and platters on the table. Set up and turn on the raclette machine according to manufacturer's instructions - you may want to set the raclette machine on a heatproof tray to catch any melty cheesy drips.
Let your guests help themselves to ingredients - if your raclette machine has a top hot plate use this to keep the potatoes warm or crisp them up and use to cook the peppers if you don't want them raw.
Get stuck in! Everyone should have their own mini handled tray on which to put a slice or two of raclette cheese. This then sits under the central grill until melted. With an arrangement of potatoes and/or cured meats etc on their plate, your guests can then scrape their own portion of melted cheese on top with a wooden paddle or spoon. Leave the jug of vinaigrette on the table so it can be drizzled over the potatoes or salad leaves to taste. Serve with crusty bread on the side.

Tips:

Choose the right cheese: Raclette cheese is a semi-hard, cow's milk cheese with a slightly nutty and buttery flavor. It melts beautifully, making it perfect for raclette. If you can't find raclette cheese, you can substitute another type of melting cheese, such as Gruyère or Emmental.

Prepare your vegetables and potatoes ahead of time: This will save you time when you're cooking the raclette. You can boil the potatoes, steam the vegetables, and pickle the cornichons in advance.

Cook the onions slowly: Sautéing the onions slowly over low heat will help them caramelize and develop a rich, sweet flavor.

Don't overcrowd the raclette pan: If you try to cook too much food at once, it won't cook evenly. Cook the food in batches if necessary.

Serve the raclette immediately: Raclette is best enjoyed when it's hot and melted. Serve it with your favorite accompaniments, such as boiled potatoes, steamed vegetables, cornichons, and sautéed onions.

Conclusion:

Raclette is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make raclette at home. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy meal to make, give raclette a try!
