If used in the savory sense, a roulade is a thin piece of meat, poultry, fish, and sometimes vegetables
(eggplant, zucchini strips, for example) that is spread with a filling. The filling can consist of ground
meat of contrasting flavor (like ground pork in flank steak), breadcrumbs, vegetables, mushrooms,
pickles, cheese, hard-cooked eggs, and other ingredients.
The meat, poultry, fish, or vegetable strip is then rolled up and tied or sometimes skewered with a
toothpick. The roulade is cooked (usually by braising in the case of beef) on the stovetop or in the
oven, and often served with gravy or some type of sauce.
Sweet Roulade
A sweet roulade, on the other hand, usually refers to a dessert made with sponge cake and variously
filled with whipped cream, pastry cream, ganache, jam, and sometimes fruit, and then rolled up
