galantine
Chilled meat terrine
A galantine is a cold dish of boned, stuffed meat—typically poultry—that is poached, pressed into a cylindrical or loaf shape, and served sliced, often coated in aspic.
The preparation showcases classical French culinary technique: The chef prepared a galantine of duck with pistachios and foie gras.
The dish appears mainly at formal buffets and in traditional French cuisine.
