coulis
Smooth fruit drizzle
A coulis is a thick sauce made from puréed and strained fruits or vegetables.
Raspberry coulis appears on dessert plates as a bright drizzle; tomato coulis enriches savory dishes.
The term comes from French cooking, where straining produces the characteristic smooth texture: She pooled the mango coulis beneath the panna cotta.
