What is "fricassee"?
Fricassee is a stew made with pieces of meat that have been browned in butter and served in a sauce flavored with the cooking stock, usually made with chicken, veal or rabbit. It is a rustic family-style meal that is easy to make, halfway between a sauté and a stew, simmered with hearty vegetables in a rich, silky sauce. The dish relies on humble ingredients and is made in just a single pot. It is served with creamy mashed potatoes and a crusty bread to experience the fullness of French cuisine.
