Mastering Culinary Tradition at Vessie
Vessie refers to a unique cooking technique involving a pig bladder as a cooking vessel. Originating in French cuisine, this method creates a flavorful experience, particularly with Bresse chicken.
The technique of cooking Poularde de Bresse en vessie involves stuffing chicken with foie gras and truffles, sealing it in the bladder, and poaching it in broth.
