The white meat is a lean and delicate cut, ideal for precise cooking that retains its tenderness. Whether pan-fried, roasted, or simmered in a sauce, it thrives when cooked over moderate heat, with a brief sear followed by a gentle finish, avoiding overcooking. For a juicy result, remove the meat from the refrigerator in advance, season simply, cook gently, and then let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. It's perfect for everyday recipes, salads, sandwiches, stir-fries, or a light cream sauce with simple, fresh toppings. Prepared by your butcher, Allaert, a respected establishment since 1978, serving customers only in Belgium.
When you choose a cut of meat at Allaert, you're not just buying meat; you're participating in a legacy. Each cut is hand-selected by our master butchers, guaranteeing that only the very best reaches your table.

Hand-cut and precision
We select poultry from farms where quality takes precedence over speed. This yields firmer, more flavorful meat, and skin that browns better when cooked. Every choice aims for simple, pure, and delicious poultry, from everyday meals to exceptional dining.
Sear briefly to brown, then reduce the heat and finish cooking gently. Too much heat and too long a cooking time will quickly dry out a lean cut of meat. Covering towards the end of cooking can help it cook through without overcooking. Resting after cooking is important; it stabilizes the juices and improves tenderness. A simple tip is to add a knob of butter or a splash of sauce at the end of cooking to maintain a moist texture.
In the oven, moderate heat and a short cooking time are best. You can first brown it in a pan, then finish in the oven for even cooking, or cook it directly in a slightly moist dish with a little stock, a light sauce, or vegetables. Cover if you want maximum tenderness. Remove it a little before the end and let it rest; the residual heat will finish cooking without drying it out.
It's not mandatory, but it can help add flavor and a juicier texture. A short marinade with oil, garlic, herbs, and sweet paprika works very well. A yogurt or buttermilk marinade can also give a more tender texture. Avoid very acidic marinades that are too long, as they can "cook" the surface and result in a less appealing texture. Pat dry lightly before cooking to promote browning.
Salt, pepper, garlic, herbs, thyme, oregano, and a light touch of lemon at the end of cooking. For a richer version, mild mustard, light cream, mushrooms, or a sauce made with deglazed pan juices add depth of flavor. For a spicier version, paprika, mild cumin, mild curry, or moderate chili pepper work well. The key is to maintain a gentle cooking temperature so the meat remains tender.
A thermometer is ideal for preventing overcooking. Cooking is considered safe at around 74°C (165°F) internal temperature, but if you remove it slightly before and let it rest, the temperature will continue to rise, preserving its moisture. The goal is to cook it through without overcooking, because the more you heat a lean cut of meat, the more it loses its juices. Resting and moderate heat make a big difference.
Keep refrigerated in a sealed container and consume promptly. To reheat, use a gentle heat method, such as in a low oven with a little sauce or broth, or in a covered pan over low heat. Avoid the microwave, which dries it out easily. Leftovers are also excellent cold, thinly sliced, in a salad or sandwich with a light sauce.
