quenelles

A quenelle (french pronunciation: ​[kə.nɛl]) is a mixture of creamed fish or meat, sometimes combined with breadcrumbs, with a light egg binding, formed into an egg-like shape, and then cooked. the usual preparation is by poaching. formerly, quenelles were often used as a garnish in haute cuisine. today, they are more commonly served sauced as a dish in their own right. similar items are found in many cuisines. by extension, a quenelle may also be another food made into a similar shape, such as ice cream, sorbet, or mashed potato quenelles.
