cut into coins?
timbrel
recipes. How is a carrot cut into coins different than a carrot that
is sliced, or sliced thickly?
thanks in advance
blake murphy
it seems to me i've seen this phrasing in the past as well. maybe recipe
writers get tired of saying 'slice thinly.'

Slice thinly, I think not, is too vague, has no bearing on
configuration... sliced into coins may be relatively recent but sliced
into rounds is ages old. Most recipe writes use sliced into rounds
(many foods can be sliced into rounds), sliced into coins is usually
reserved for tube steak.

That must mean "buy the biggest carrot you can find".

The hard part is putting all those ridges around the circumference though.

"Coins" is easier to spell and shorter to write, maybe?
The word pavilions always throws me for a similar reason..

Oh, I like "medallions" better than "coins". Much classier.

And now that i think about it, the term, iirc, is most often used to
describe a cut of meat. Interchangable with the French 'tournedos.'

Those lines on some US coins are called reeding.

And one can put little medallions in a bourse of bacon with a little

What you really mean is now that you read my post.

I do the same thing with cukes, but have not tried it with carrots. I
like the idea tho' as ridges hold more sauce/spicing. Mom taught me
that idea.

Way cooler name.
Meat gets cut into medalions. Veggies get cut into coins. Both are
cool sounding names.
A coin collector will tell you that the difference is how the tails side
is oriented relative to the heads side. If you hold a coin with your
fingers top and bottom facing heads and rotate the coin the tails shows
upside down. If you hold a medal top and bottom facing heads and rotate
the coin the tails shows right side up.
I guess that means I should spice the carrot coins differently then the
pork loin medallions. ;^)

That's true.
>Veggies get cut into coins.
So do tube steak, and other sausage. I'm a big fan of pepperoni
coins, sopressata coins too.

Easy, just scrape the carrot with a serrated knife before slicing.

Nope. "Médaillon", in the context, is a generic term meaning round
piece or slice, not necessarily of meat. There are médaillons de
saumon, de lotte, de sole, etc. "Tournedos" is a specific term meaning
round slice from the centre or narrow part of the beef filet.
Nowadays, such terms are often used indiscriminately and you can
probably even find tournedos d'ananas (pineapple) or similar.
