Paupiette is a French culinary term referring to a thin slice of meat, such as veal, beef, or chicken, that is stuffed with a filling, rolled up, and then cooked. The filling often includes ingredients like herbs, vegetables, and sometimes other meats or breadcrumbs.
The rolled meat is typically tied with string to hold the filling in place and then braised, baked, or simmered in a sauce until tender. Paupiettes are known for their flavorful and moist texture, making them a popular choice in French cuisine. They are usually sold ready-made in supermarkets and by butchers and rarely made at home.
