En vessie

En vessie refers to a cooking method in which a meat or other dish is cooked in a (pig) bladder. A well-known application is with Bresse chicken: Poularde de Bresse en vessie; a prepared chicken is stuffed with foie gras, truffles, and other flavorings, then enclosed in the bladder and poached in chicken broth.[1] The advantage of the method is that the meat does not come into contact with the cooking liquid; in Poularde de Bresse en vessie, the juices from the chicken all stay in the chicken, and turn into a flavorful jelly if the dish is served cold.[2] The meat remains extremely moist.[3] It has been likened to the cooking method of sous vide where meat is vacuum packed and cooked slowly in a water bath.[4][5] A similar effect can be achieved by wrapping chicken in aluminum foil.[6]
