forcemeats

Ground meat fillings

Forcemeats are finely ground mixtures of meat, fat, and seasonings used as stuffings or to make pâtés, terrines, and sausages.

The force in forcemeat comes from a French word meaning stuffed.

A classic forcemeat might combine pork, veal, and pork fat with herbs and spices, then be used to stuff a chicken or line a terrine mold.
