Not hard for the cartel to organise cheese dish (8)

I believe the answer is:

raclette

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cheese dish' is the definition.
'raclette' can be an answer for 'dish' (I have seen 'Swiss dish' mean 'raclette' so perhaps 'dish' could also mean 'raclette'). I'm unsure of the 'cheese' bit.

'not hard for the cartel to organise' is the wordplay.
'not hard' becomes 'te' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'to organise' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'organised' mean this).
'cartel' is an anagram of 'raclet'.
'te' put after 'raclet' is 'RACLETTE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for raclette that I've seen before include "food in Switzerland" , "Swiss dish of melted cheese and jacket potatoes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
