RACLETTE WITH TEMPEH
Tempeh recommendation: Natural tempeh made from soybeans
Raclette is a classic dish for Christmas and New Year's Eve, but this time we're doing something innovative: spicy marinated tempeh gives the raclette a plant-based protein boost that goes perfectly with melted cheese, vegetables, and potatoes. Whether savory with peppers and onions or sweet with pumpkin and figs, tempeh makes every pan a highlight!

Preparation
- Marinate the tempeh: Mix the soy sauce, mustard, maple syrup, oil, paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the tempeh and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or longer).
- Prepare the raclette: Wash and chop the vegetables, arrange the cheese and side dishes on plates.
- Pre-fry the tempeh (optional): If you like it extra crispy, fry the marinated tempeh briefly in a pan before placing it in the raclette pan.
- Fill the raclette pans:
• Savory: Tempeh, bell pepper, onion, a little cheese on top – bake until golden brown.
• Creamy: Tempeh, broccoli, and mushrooms with a dash of cream or vegan cream.
• Sweet and savory: Tempeh with pumpkin, figs, and a little honey or maple syrup. - Grill the raclette: Heat the pans in the raclette grill for about 5–7 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
