à l'anglaise
Posted in Glossary terms starting with "A" Tell-a-Friendà l'anglaise — a French expression meaning something cooked “in the English manner.” It can refer to wildly different cooking methods with no real common element, except that in the French mind it’s how the English would cook that particular food item. It is usually food prepared simply and presented unadorned with no sauce more complex than melted butter — [ahn-GLEHZ] It can mean:
something poached
something boiled and served with no sauce, save perhaps butter
fish that is coated with just oil or butter then grilled and served simply with butter
dipped in flour then in a mixture of egg, salt, pepper and oil (in the ratio of 1/2 teaspoon of oil per egg), then rolled in breadcrumbs. The liquid mixture is called “anglaise.”
