A sauce completes a raclette evening. Like whiskey cocktail 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 and the meat. And I have my preferences. Whiskey cocktail 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 until used in the refrigerator.
- You add the oil dropwise at the beginning with the mayonnaise. That way, you get a nice smooth sauce. Add it 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.

Karen Lawson says
No curry listed in the cocktail sauce recipe. Could you advise?
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 cocktail sauce, but you add it in the directions.
No response to this since July.
Andréa says
Hi Glen, Thank you for the time you took to give a response. The curry in the cocktail 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
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

Wow the homemade mayonnaise is so much better than the store brands I am used to. I also tried your Curry sauce- Yum!
Debra says
That curry sauce was so easy to make and delicious...we slathered our otherwise plain roasted veggies in that sauce...so so good.
