silverskins
Thin meat sheaths
Silverskins are the thin, papery membranes that cling to certain foods.
On garlic, silverskins are the translucent layers covering individual cloves.
On meat, silverskin is the tough, silvery connective tissue that should be trimmed before cooking: Remove the silverskin from the tenderloin or it will be chewy.
Silverskin onions are small pickled onions used in cocktails and relishes.
