Steak Provençal style
- Sprinkle herbes de Provence on the stone and follow the steps above. This will give the meat a pleasant
flavour, while the stone radiates a delicious aroma.
Pieces of meat
- Choose beef, pork, chicken and turkey filet. Add game, if desired. Cut the meat in 1-inch cubes or,
preferably, in slices 1/4 inch thick.
- The grilling time for red meat is 30 seconds to 1 min., and for chicken and game, a few minutes.
Sausage
- Prick the sausages before you place them on the stone, to prevent spattering.
- Turn the sausages regularly with a wooden spatula and grill for 10-15 minutes.
Fish
- The cooking time depends on the size and the type of fish, such as salmon, tuna or scampi’s, for
example.
- Fish produce a lot of moisture, so it’s normal if some steam develops.
Vegetables
- Cut a few onions, firm tomatoes, zucchinis and aubergines (aubergines) in slices. Add red, green and
yellow bell peppers and a few kernels of corn or fennel, if desired.
- Vegetables must be grilled at the edge of the stone. Do not sprinkle any salt there.
Dessert with fresh fruit
- You can also make delicious desserts on the stone. The heat of the stone gives the fruits a delectable
flavour.
- Select apples, pears, apricots, mangoes, pineapples, bananas and add a few mandarin and orange sec
tions.
- The pieces are fruit are caramelised on the stone and can be combined with scoops of ice cream, for
example.
RACLETTE SAVOIE
- Take some raclette cheese (200-250 grams [about 1/2 pound] per person) and cut into 1/4-inch slices. -
- Remove the crust.
- Use 2-3 potatoes (cooked with the skin on) per person. Place the potatoes on a dish and keep them
warm on the stone.
- Place as slice of cheese into a pan and let it melt under the stone. Loosen the cheese with a spatula and
pour it over the potatoes. Add salt and pepper or nutmeg, to your liking. Serve with onions and pickles
in vinegar.
- You can also serve raw or cooked ham and vegetables with this dish.
Suggestions:
Although usually hard cheeses are used, such as Emmenthal, Appenzell, Gruyère or Comté, you can also
use other cheeses besides alpine cheeses: Abbey cheeses, cream cheese, or for a more distinct flavour,
Chester, Cheddar, Beaufort, Parmesan or Bel Paese are also an option.
GRILL PLATE
Roast big shrimp with vegetables
- Peel 20 large shrimp (with head) and remove the intestinal canal (on the back).
- Cut 1 aubergine and 1 onion in very thin slices. Place the aubergine in cold water for 15
minutes and then dry with a paper towel before grilling.
- Remove the stems from 8 shii-take mushrooms and cut a cross into the hood.
- Cut 1 bell pepper into 6 parts and remove the seeds.
- Cut 1 cabbage into thin strips and arrange all ingredients on a dish.
