About Quenelle

Quenelle is a delicate, oval-shaped dumpling that originates from French cuisine, specifically Lyon. Traditionally made using a mixture of ground fish, poultry, or meat combined with flour, breadcrumbs, or cream, it is often enriched with eggs or butter for consistency. Popularly served with a rich sauce like béchamel or tomato, quenelle is a versatile dish enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side. Nutritionally, the ingredients make it high in protein, depending on the filling, but it can also be calorie-dense due to the cream, butter, or flour content. Homemade versions allow for healthier variations, such as swapping heavy cream for lighter alternatives or integrating whole-grain flours. While rich in flavor and heavily rooted in French culinary tradition, it’s best enjoyed as an indulgence rather than a staple in a balanced diet.
