Main Dish Ideas
Meat
Cut meat into bite-size pieces. Depending on the thickness, grill the meat for approx.
2 – 4 minutes on each side. For a variety, try marinating your meat prior to grilling. For
large or whole pieces of meat/chicken grilling time is approximately 15 minutes each
side.
Fish and Seafood
Fish and seafood are particularly suitable for grilling. However, since their proteins are
very sensitive to heat, be careful not to cook them at too high a temperature. Thicker
fillets should be cooked on the (slightly oiled) grill top at medium heat.
Shish Kabobs
Cut meat and vegetables such as onion, cherry tomatoes, peppers into bite-size pieces
and add alternately onto wooden skewers, grill for approx. 3 – 5 minutes depending on
thickness of meat. Another alternative is ham or chicken with peppers and pineapple.
You can substitute meat for shrimp or salmon as well.
Desserts
Savoy-style Pears
Peel, halve and core the pears and thinly slice. Melt butter in raclette dish and arrange
the pears in a fan shape. Sprinkle with sugar and cook for a few minutes on top of
the grill top until the pears are just soft. Pour some cream over them and slide the
pans under the grill and cook gently until the sauce is slightly caramelized. You can
substitute pears for baking apples and add cinnamon for extra flavor.
Orange Cake
Lightly toast both sides of a slice of sponge cake. Place a slice in the raclette dish
a nd,
if desired, sprinkle with some orange liqueur. Slice an orange thinly, remove the
pith,
halve and arrange overlapping slices on the cake. Sprinkle thickly with coarse,
r aw
sugar and bake under the grill for 5 – 6 minutes. You can substitute oranges for
peaches for a fresh summer flavor.
