We've been planning our New Year's Eve party with our good friends Ed and Loreto for a couple of weeks now and one of Nico's ideas was to have a Raclette. I had never heard of this before and had no idea what it was about. It sounded a bit like a fondu in that small portions of food are heated at the table. Anyway, Nico went and bought one, Loreto is totally excited about the idea, having tried it for the first time with some German friends this year, and we experimented with it on Saturday night.
It was brilliant! It's better than fondu. As you can see in the photos, we put on a DVD and settled down to some serious Raclette business. There are two parts to the process:
First of all, you can grill things on top of the Raclette. We did this with potatoes, peperoni and bacon.
Then you can also fill little individual pans and grill them underneath. We did this with peperoni and veg and covered them with cheese - delicious. We could also do desserts with this idea - bananas with honey anybody?
Even more excited about New Year's Eve now! Can't wait to try it again with some new ideas.
