In short: warm naan, pulled meat and a generous blanket of melted raclette: this is the raclette naan that took Instagram by storm, offered as a limited edition at Kuna Naan, the Kuna Family’s restaurant in Paris. You can also recreate it at home in about ten minutes with leftover braised meat.

What is raclette naan with pulled meat?
Naan bread stands in for the potato, the pulled meat brings tenderness and the melted cheese ties it all together. It’s street-food raclette, eaten with your hands and ideally while leaning over the plate so the cheese doesn’t end up on your favorite sweater. Warm bread, stretchy cheese, melt-in-your-mouth meat: it’s easy to see why the idea went viral.
On paper, the idea sounds like an arranged marriage between Indian cooking and the Alps. In the mouth, the logic is airtight: the soft, lightly toasted naan soaks up the cheese’s richness just like a good potato would, and the slow-cooked meat adds the depth you’d usually get from cured meats. Proof that raclette doesn’t need little pans to be raclette.

How to make raclette naan at home
A naan warmed in a skillet, leftover shredded braised meat and a slice of cheese melted in a raclette pan: you get a close result in ten minutes. For cured meats and other meats, see our pairing guide.
For the full version, with homemade pulled meat and a little yogurt sauce that freshens everything up, follow our recipe for raclette naan with pulled meat. It can be prepared ahead, which leaves you time to set the table while the meat simmers away on its own.
Three chef’s tips so you don’t miss your shot:
- Heat the naan right before topping it: cold bread under hot cheese is like wet socks in brand-new boots.
- Pick a cheese that stretches: a nicely melting raw-milk raclette, to choose from our ranking of the best raclette cheeses.
- Add a touch of acidity: pickled red onions or pickles, to cut through the richness.
🧀 Our picks for a successful raclette
What if you don’t have a raclette grill?
Don’t panic: raclette naan works very well in the oven. Place the topped bread on a baking sheet, lay the cheese on top and let it brown under the broiler. Our article on raclette without a grill covers other methods. And for a picnic or patio version, a portable raclette grill lets you melt the cheese right next to the naans, food-truck style in your backyard.

Frequently asked questions
What meat should I use for raclette naan?
Any meat that shreds after long cooking: pork shoulder, beef chuck or braised chicken thigh. Leftovers from a pot-au-feu or a pot roast work too.
