This Friday, November 15, in a video published on his Instagram account, the famous doctor Jimmy Mohamed shared his tips for making the most of a light raclette.
Nitrite-free cold cuts
“The idea of raclette is to have a friendly time, to enjoy and therefore to eat as much as you want”he recalls, before adding: “the idea is to balance our caloric intake over the day, over the week, over the month. So, when you make raclette, you don’t count“. No question of depriving yourself! But if you still want to pay attention to your figure and not overdo it, “you have to be vigilant” on “the charcuterie”. Jimmy Mohamed advises taking “a charcuterie perhaps artisanal, rather from the butcher, without nitrites“. “We know that industrial charcuterie is often of poor quality.

Having fun doesn’t hurt!
