galantine
[ GAL-uhn-teen; gal-ahn-TEEN ]
A classic French dish that resembles a meat-wrapped
PÂTÉ. It's made from poultry, meator fish that is boned and stuffed with a
FORCEMEAT, which is often studded with flavor- and eye-enhancers such as pistachio nuts, olivesand
TRUFFLES. The stuffed meat roll is formed into a symmetrical loaf, wrapped in
CHEESECLOTH and gently cooked in stock. It's then chilled, glazed with aspic made from its own jellied stock and garnished with items (such as pistachios, olives and
TRUFFLEs) that have been included in the filling. Galantines are normally served cold, cut in slices.
