Jambonette is a French meat dish that can be made with chicken or pork, shaped into various forms, and seasoned with spices and other ingredients. It is cooked at the right temperature and garnished with vegetables or sauce.
Jambonette is a meat dish in which meat can be broken up and shaped into various shapes for presentation. The name comes from traditional French cuisine and many cooking experts identify this dish as having a classical French origin. Jambonette can use chicken or other meat, although pork remains the more traditional choice for this dish.
Cooks making jambonettes will generally need to break the meat down from its original shape and transform it into a semi-ground texture that can be molded. Various types of meat that are often used include pork belly, belly and other cuts of pork, as well as chicken parts. Cooks cut the meat into manageable chunks before stirring or otherwise blending it into a sausage-like texture.
Before cooking jambonette, a cook will often add several ingredients to the mix. These include simple spices and flavorings like salt and pepper. Garlic or onions can also be added. It is up to the cook to think about what is best to include in a jambonette meat mix where many different options will provide widely varying flavor profiles and final variations.
After the meat has been properly mixed, the cook will find a way to shape it into a particular shape. For chicken-based jambonettes, the cook can actually form the meat into pieces of chicken or into a simple medallion or other shapes. Traditional jambonette recipes show pork products being shaped into a pear shape, although a medallion or other similar shape will provide an effective presentation. These shapes are often reinforced with tin foil or other material to help them last after firing.
Once the meat has been molded into the desired shape, it is then cooked according to specific recipes. Cooking the meat at the right time and at the right temperature is of paramount importance to prevent problems with the final texture of the final product. Cooks should evaluate the overall fat content of the meat, noting whether pure fat or various fatty parts of the animal have been included in the mix.
In its final presentation, the jambonette can be garnished in different ways. Some dishes are seasoned or layered with a thin sauce, sometimes including beef stock. Some dishes may use vegetables or greens for an additional garnish, to add shape, color and flavor. Because this food is often part of a gourmet meal, the plate it is presented on does not usually include a large amount of food. This is generally a very rich food that is often served in rather small portions.
