“En croute” is a French phrase meaning “in crust.” It is used to describe food (usually meat or seafood) that has been wrapped in dough or puff pastry prior to baking. It’s a great way to enjoy roasted whole fish.
Examples of classic en croute dishes include salmon en croute and Beef Wellington (usually beef tenderloin covered with duxelles and/or pate before being wrapped in puff pastry). En croute pates & mousses are also available. Post your comment here:2 Responses to “What does “en croute” mean?” |

Could the term “En croute” be used when moulding stuffing,as opposed to dough or puff pastry, around the outside of chicken pieces

I haven’t heard it used that way, but you probably could? I’m not sure how strict the French are in their definition in this case.
