Tasty Facts
– Galantine is an aspic appetizer. The meat is minced, mixed with eggs and seasonings, rolled up like a sausage and cooked until tender. After cooking, the galantine is cooled and covered with jelly to give the dish a completely symmetrical appearance. And although in the old French language the word “galantine” meant “jelly”, at present they use special containers to give the galantine the correct shape, and the gelling process of the snack is ignored.
– Serve galantine as an appetizer: put a loaf of galantine on a plate and cut off circular pieces. At the same time, given that the galantine is stuffed with colorful ingredients, it may not need additional decoration. It is necessary to cut the galantine carefully, without touching it with your hands, so as not to damage the delicate gelatin shell. It is important to put the galantine in the refrigerator at least sometimes so that the gelatin mixture does not melt and the dish retains its aesthetic appearance.
– For the preparation of galantine, turkey, veal, pork, turkey liver, fish can be used.
– For variety and beauty of the cut, when preparing galantine, fried mushrooms, olives, pistachios, ham, chicken eggs, fresh vegetables (tomatoes, bell peppers) are added to the filling.
– Galantine can be cooked without chicken skin, then it is enough to cook the roll, wrapping it in several layers of cellophane.
– To make the meat softer, you can soak the meat for 1 day in salted water (in the refrigerator).
– Instead of cellophane, when forming galantine, you can use gauze, foil or a baking sleeve.
– If the formed galantine turned out to be very large, it can either be divided into 2 or boiled in a deep baking sheet in the oven: pour boiling water to half the height of the galantine, cover with foil and cook at a temperature of 150 degrees for 1.5 hours in the absence of seething.
– Semi-finished galantine is sold in stores. It is recommended to fry or bake such a galantine, however, if there is a desire to cook it, wrap the galantine with cellophane and cook for 40 minutes.
– If there are a lot of blanks for galantine, you can make small rolls and fry them in breadcrumbs.
– If the gelatin mixture for pouring gelatin is frozen, just heat it up – it will become liquid again.
