What Is A Paillard?
A paillard is a thin piece of meat that has been pounded with a meat mallet until it is of even thickness. This technique not only tenderizes the meat but also makes it cook quickly and evenly. Paillards can be made from a variety of meats, including chicken, beef, pork, and veal, and can be cooked in a variety of ways such as grilling, sautéing or pan-frying. They are commonly served as a main course or used as a topping for salads or sandwiches.
