What is the name of the dish depicted below?
Making a ballotine, a French dish, is a creative way to serve just about any kind of meat, fish or poultry. It is a piece of meat, sometimes the whole animal, as with duck or fish, that is completely boned. It is then stuffed with a variety of different items, usually tied to secure the stuffing, and roasted or braised. Typically, the ballotine is served hot.
Many times when people think of stuffing, they think of breaded or rice stuffing. These can form part of the ballotine, but frequently, stuffing is comprised of additional meat from the same animal, sometimes called forcemeat, or of other meat products like pâté.
A ballotine is often shaped like a sausage or re-formed to look like the leg, often with a cleaned piece of bone left in the end.
