galantine
cold stuffed meat, fish or poultry
‘Galantine’ comes from an old French word for jelly, and is the same as a ballotine, only instead of round, a galantine is rectangular.
Traditionally cooked with trotters to form an aspic, a galantine can be poached or cooked in a bain-marie in the oven; today they are often prepared sous-vide.
