Have you ever had a raclette party? Oh my goodness friends, if you have not, I highly encourage you to do so! This weekend, we fired up the raclette grill and went to town.
If you're unfamiliar, raclette is a type of cheese. A very stinky cheese. The raclette party concept originated in the Swiss Alps and is fairly popular in Europe, but not so much here in the States. It's all about melting cheese over veggies and meats (faux meats in my case) on a specialized grill.
We went a little bit traditional, a little bit not: boiled fingerling potatoes, dill gherkins, balsamic onions, soy salami and sausage, pickled spicy mushrooms, baby heirloom tomatoes, broccoli and cauliflower florets, with choice of raclette, gouda or emmental cheese, sprinkled with fresh ground pepper and chives.
Heaven on a fork!
