The name julienne comes from the French julienne, which means "July". In French cuisine, in the summer season, it was customary to cook soups, for which young vegetables were cut in a special way - very thinly, into thin strips. Since then, this method of slicing has been called so - julienne slicing.
Also called salads and soups made from thinly sliced vegetables. However, in Russian cuisine, it is customary to call a special group of second courses or snacks, which are often prepared with mushrooms, vegetables, fish, seafood or meat, as juliennes. For making julienne — pour the sauce over all the ingredients and sprinkle generously with cheese, then bake until a golden cheese crust is formed. Julienne is served hot.
The traditional dish, mushroom julienne, is usually baked in heavy cream and topped with a thick cheese crust. Julienne with mushrooms is baked in the oven and served as a main course. The preparation of julienne usually takes place in a special dish called a cocotte. A cocotte is a small metal scoop made especially for julienne. It fits in a cocotte about one hundred milliliters of julienne or any sauce. That is, portioned julienne is usually prepared in a cocotte maker.

The preparation of seafood julienne is very simple. I love the recipe from the magazine "My Family". Once I copied it into my cookbook and now I use it all the time. I used to buy shrimps and mussels separately. And now in our store you can buy a special seafood cocktail, which contains different seafood. I use it all the time to cook seafood julienne.
So defrost the seafood cocktail a little. You can just douse it with boiling water. Then all the seafood needs to be cut into small pieces. Then peel the onions. Place a skillet on the stove. Pour oil into it. Put on the bow. Let it brown a little and become transparent. Then add the chopped seafood to it and fry them for 7 minutes. When they are almost ready, add sour cream to them. When it boils, reduce heat and simmer for ten minutes until the sauce thickens. In this case, you must constantly interfere. Season with salt and stir. Take the cocotte makers. Put the resulting mass into it. Sprinkle with grated cheese with medium holes. Bake the seafood julienne in the oven until golden brown. Enjoy your meal!
Ingredients:
Wash vegetables and mushrooms. Cut carrots and tomatoes into thin circles, mushrooms into slices, onions into cubes, divide broccoli into inflorescences. Boil the carrots and broccoli in salted water for 10-15 minutes or steam, it will be healthier. Fry the mushroom slices in butter. Salt the onion in butter until transparent. Stir the vegetables, place in a greased dish, place the mushrooms on top and cover with sour cream mixed with eggs. Sprinkle with cheese and place in a hot oven for 40 minutes.
Ingredients:
Boil the shrimp in salted water for 20 minutes, strain the broth and set aside. Peel the shrimp, mix with boiled rice, sautéed mushrooms and onions, add spinach or cauliflower and spread the mixture over the cocotte makers. Prepare the sauce: save the flour in butter, add a little warm broth and milk, boil over medium heat until thickened. Cool to about 60 ° C, add raw egg yolk and stir well.

I just love French cuisine, so now I will teach you how to cook delicious julienne in tartlets. It is an excellent festive appetizer, although it can also be used as a regular meal. I have been using the recipe for this dish for a long time, and I like it more than anyone else. I hope you enjoy it too. In general, rate!
First you need to prepare the tartlets. To do this, we roll out the finished puff pastry, which must first be defrosted. Now we divide it into six equal parts. We put each part in oiled cocotte makers and put them in the oven for about twenty minutes. It is better to preheat the oven in advance. When the tartlets are baked, take them out of the cocotte makers and immediately put them on a baking sheet sprinkled with cold water.
Now we are preparing the filling. We cut onions and mushrooms. We grate cheese. Put the onion in a frying pan with oil, fry. Then add the mushrooms. Fry again for about ten minutes. Stir. We put sour cream and salt right there. We continue to fry over low heat and stir.
When the filling is ready, put it in the tartlets, and sprinkle with grated cheese on top. We put in the oven for five minutes, maybe even less. The most important thing is that the cheese on top has time to melt.
Sometimes I cook such julienne in tartlets even in the microwave. It turns out a little less "fried", a little more "steamed", but it tastes even better somewhere. Bon Appetit!

The beautiful French word "julienne" means the simplest culinary action - cutting vegetables into strips. In Russian cuisine, the word was transformed into "julienne", and began to denote a delicious dish prepared in a special way.

It would seem that such a beautiful French word is julienne. But in French cuisine, it does not mean a dish at all, but a way of cutting vegetables very finely. Julienne or julienne in the Russian sense is a hot appetizer made from chicken, mushrooms or seafood in sour cream or milk sauce with a cheese crust. In this case, all the ingredients are cut "julienne", that is, very small strips or cubes.
This chicken and mushroom julienne recipe is cooked in milk and butter. Thanks to milk, julienne turns out to be light, with a pleasant milky taste and without sourness (which is usually given by sour cream). At the same time, milk does not drown out the aroma of mushrooms and chicken. For the amount of ingredients specified in the recipe, you will need several cocotte makers or baking pots with a total capacity of 1 liter.
Ingredients:
1. Wash the chicken fillet under running water, dry with a paper towel and cut into small cubes.
2. Peel the onion, chop and fry in a small amount of vegetable oil (1 tablespoon)
3. Rinse the champignons, chop finely.
4. Put the chicken and mushrooms on the onion. Add butter and melt it. In principle, onions can be fried immediately in butter. But if you overcook it even a little, the oil will become bitter and so you can ruin the whole julienne. Therefore, it is better to spread the butter with chicken and mushrooms. In this case, it will melt and not burn, since the chicken and mushrooms will also release the juice. And for this, everything needs to be pepper and salt.
5. Fry for 3-5 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly. All chicken fillet pieces should turn white.
6. Pour in milk and mix immediately. Let it boil.
7. As soon as the bulks appear, sprinkle with flour on top.
8. Mix immediately and remove from heat. The julienne should thicken slightly.
9. Rub the cheese on a fine grater.
10. Transfer the julienne from the pan to the cocotte makers and sprinkle with cheese on top.
11. We send to the oven preheated to 200 degrees for 10 minutes. In this case, the cheese should grab onto an appetizing crust, but not burn.
The most delicious and tender julienne with chicken and mushrooms is ready! Bon Appetit!
