Raclette Recipe 5 Homemade Sauces (2024)

Published: · Modified: by Andréa

RECIPE

A sauce completes a raclette evening. Like whiskey co*cktail sauce, barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, curry, or garlic sauce. Everyone has their preference. With these recipes, make the most delicious sauces in no time!

I love it, I confess honestly. A delicious sauce to go with a raclette. To spread on my bread, to smear or cover the vegetables andthe meat. And I have my preferences. Whiskey co*cktail sauce with fish. Garlic sauce and barbecue sauce on the meat. Mayonnaise and curry are not my thing, but yeah, the kids love it.

And today, I give the recipes of five sauces that you can find when I'm hosting a raclette. The nice thing is that some of these sauces, again are the basis for the other sauces. So these sauces are great with these raclette recipes.

Because...

  • All sauces are perishable. I make most the day before, but preferably on the same day. And of course, keep them untilused in the refrigerator.
  • You add the oil dropwise at the beginning with the mayonnaise. That way, you get a nice smooth sauce. Addit too quickly, and you will get lumps.
  • It's currently winter (over here) and tomatoes are just not as tasty, so grab a good can passata (sieved tomatoes). Use fresh tomatoes in summer.
  • You use raw egg in the mayonnaise; it isn't suitable for the elderly, the sick, and young children.

  1. Karen Lawson says

    No curry listed in the co*cktail sauce recipe. Could you advise?

  2. Glen says

    Seems like recipes were cut and pasted, but not edited. Curry in bbq sauce 100 ml? Powdered, that’s a lot, and there doesn’t seem to be enough liquid.
    No Curry listed in co*cktail sauce, but you add it in the directions.
    No response to this since July.

  3. Andréa says

    Hi Glen, Thank you for the time you took to give a response. The curry in the co*cktail sauce was by accident deleted, but I've added it. Thank you for noticing that. I've missed Karen's reaction otherwise I would have changed that one already. By curry in the BBQ sauce, I mean curry sauce as is made in the recipe above. I don't mean the powdered version. I'm Dutch so it could be a translation issue and I would love to hear if I should pronounce it differently to make it more clear. I wish you a great weekend and I hope all issues are addressed. Kind regards, Andréa

  4. Andréa says

    Hi Karen, Thank you for your reaction and sorry for my late response, for some reason I haven't seen your comment earlier. I've adapted the recipe so the curry is added to the recipe. For an unknown reason, it disappeared. I hope you can make and enjoy this recipe. Have a nice weekend, kind regards, Andréa
