noisette

Small meat round

Noisette has two culinary meanings, both French in origin.

A noisette is a small, round cut of meat—typically lamb—taken from the rib or loin: lamb noisettes with rosemary.

The word also describes a preparation featuring hazelnuts or a brown butter sauce cooked until nutty in color and aroma: noisette potatoes, beurre noisette.
