FRICASSEES Meaning and
Definition
-
A fricassee is a culinary term that refers to a method of cooking meat, poultry, or even vegetables by first sautéing them in butter or fat and then simmering them slowly in a flavorful liquid until tender. The resulting dish is typically a stew-like preparation with a rich and velvety sauce.
To prepare a fricassee, the meat or vegetables are first browned in a hot pan with butter or oil. Once browned and slightly crisp, they are removed from the pan, and a combination of aromatic vegetables, such as onions, carrots, or shallots, are sautéed until softened. The meat or vegetables are then returned to the pan, along with herbs, spices, and a liquid such as broth, wine, or cream. The mixture is brought to a simmer and cooked slowly over low heat until the ingredients are tender and the flavors are harmoniously combined.
Fricassees are often characterized by their creamy, thick, and savory sauce that coats the ingredients, resulting in a luscious and comforting dish. Common proteins used in fricassees include chicken, veal, rabbit, or seafood, while vegetables like mushrooms or artichokes can also make delightful fricassee variations.
This method of cooking is believed to have originated in France, as the name "fricassee" is derived from the French verb "frire" meaning "to fry." Fricassees are often regarded as classic, elegant dishes that exude a refined yet homely charm, making them popular choices for special occasions or cozy family meals.

Etymology of FRICASSEES
The word fricassée originated from the French language. It is derived from the verb fricasser, which means to fry, to sauté. The term fricasser comes from the Middle French word fricace, which referred to a ragout or stew made by frying or sautéing various ingredients. The French word, in turn, has its roots in the Old French word frire, meaning to fry. Therefore, fricasseée ultimately traces back to the Latin term frigere, which holds the same meaning of to fry.
