Thanks, it's known in Jewish cuisine, I also have it in cookbooks. Maybe the French call it ballotine but it's ballantine in English.

: Well, I wouldn't have known that myself, but it sounds just like chicken kiev to me ! Yummy! / 'Neutral', Edith, because clearly I don't have the knowledge to 'agree', and of course, I certainly wouldn't 'DISagree'! Just wanted to add a little comment...

Thanks, but if you do not know it, why a neutral? Have a look at all the other recipes.

: Dusty, Chicken Kiev has oil in the middle, or at least it did when I had in Kiev, and when saw a girl eating it in Lugansk, I asked her, "what's that in the middle?", and she replied, "Oil". And I thought I'd just been sold a dud in Kiev!

Ballantine
For a start, I have many cookbooks and the only reference I found was in Julia Child's "The French Chef" for boned turkey, but spelled "ballotine." It could also be salmon poached in Ballantine Scotch Whiskey, and not a species of salmon. I suspect it is a "house recipe" and therefore you might want to leave it as it is.

I see a problem with poached, since poaching is boiling in a liquid, so it would be difficult to have breading on the meat. The Julia Child\'s turkey version is stuffed and baked, not poached. That is why I wonder if the salmon is actually poached in whiskey (Ballantines).

Christine Andersen
: My Good Housekeeping New Cookery Encyclpædia describes 'ballotine' as above made with meat or fish, with a cross-reference to 'galantine', a very similar dish pressed into a symmetrical shape and glazed in aspic. So that may explain the spelling/confusion

: I found a recipe for salmon that called for a sauce containing "Ballantine's Finest Scotch Whiskey".

: Found this and similar dishes in Scottish restaurant menus. "Ballantine of smoked salmon complimented by guacamole and crips rocket salad". I think it would be a bit difficult to stuff smoked fish, as it is usually smoked in fillets
