Fricandeau

Does anyone have a recipe of how to prepare this? The OH could a couple at the Manor, and I’ve been tasked with putting it on the table tonight suitably prepared.

Er, HELP!

Well, this is what I did

Except on instructions from she who must be obeyed I cooked it for an hour. Much, much too long. I’d say 20-30 minutes would have been pleanty.

Are they roulades?

If yes I agree that Fricandeau sounds more fancy

Like Quiche Lorraine v Ham & Cheese pie

Was is beef or veal?

Your recipe sounds tasty!

They were veal, pre-prepared by Manor (at Chavannes)

I also used a very nice Argentine Malbec, Santa Anna 2019, from the Coop. 9.95 a bottle.

Don’t know if it’s a roulades but it is a swiss speciality. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fricandeau

Bog standard involtini, then.

Common throughout Italy, hardly 'Swiss'!

bowlie may have made FleischVögel, at least that's what a kind of roulades are known as in German CH the sauce + mashed potatoes would match. The filling Wiki gives for Involtini is different, though there's probably an unlimited number of (regional) variations.

From that Wiki link I posted.

Even Vaud has its own Fricandeau.

This one is with beef though.

But the word 'Fricandeau' sounds better and makes it more appetising.

And in Suisse romande they're called "paupiettes":

Doesn't matter all that much, the really important part is always the sauce lake.
