Ever since Alban Dairy’s products appeared in TSC and they’v taken Kuwait by storm. Their quality is unbelievable, so fresh and delicious. I’ve posted about their akawi cheese (post), their labna (post), and their qaymar (post). Their low fat laban and low fat milk are awesome too. Read more »
We had Raclette for lunch today 😀
When we were in Switzerland this winter, we brought back the makings for this yummy warm wintery lunch…
1- Sliced Raclette Cheese and 2- Raclette Oven
What is a Raclette?
It is a kind of swiss cheese, its is the 2nd famous dish after Swiss Fondue. It is usually served with some boiled baby potatoe, little pickled onions and pickled gherkins. I always order a bread basket and a green salad on the side with it. Some variations include having mushrooms or pickled baby corn, some have sausages they girll on the top of the oven while the cheese is being melted…
It is a very good fullfilling meal, and while you eat it you imagine ur self in Europe, you momentarely forget ur in Kuwait and you know it has been worth every kd paid for the extra weight in the airport …
So let me show you what did we eat today 😀
The lunch table...
The ingredients
The Cheese
The Raclette Oven
Green Salad without Dressing
A Basket of Boiled Baby Potatoes... Yum
The Condiments: Salt, Pepper, Nutmeg, & Paprika
My last bottle of Diet Coke with Citrus Zest from the UK :~(
Some Bread Slices... a decent loaf of bread from La Baugette would do
First, you put a slice of cheese on this little pot
Second, you plunge the pan inside the Raclette oven and wait a bit
Check if the cheese is melting... Once its thoroughly melted, take it out of the oven and let the fun begin :DOne way to eat? Pour onto your baby potatoes... then sprinkle with nutmeg or salt or pepper or paprika
Yummy ... spread the cheese a bit before sprinkling what u want
Another way to eat is to slide the cheese on top of your bread, like Heidi's grandad does
Then top with fresh greens to make an open face sandwich :D
Or arrange the veggies first on the bread, then seal the sandwich by pouring the cheese on top
Very Tasty!
The smallest tiniest cutest baby potatoe i have ever seen! I almost didn't eat it 😀
