envolvés

Envolvés is a term that can refer to several things, often related to food or wrapping. In some culinary contexts, it describes a type of dish where ingredients are wrapped in another edible layer, such as leaves, dough, or pastry, and then cooked. This method of preparation is common in various cuisines worldwide, allowing for gentle cooking and the infusion of flavors. The filling can range from meats and vegetables to sweet preparations.

The term can also be used more broadly to describe anything that is wrapped or enclosed. This might extend to non-food items, where "envolvés" would signify something that has been packaged or covered for protection or presentation. The specific meaning is usually determined by the surrounding context. In French, "envolvés" is the plural form of "envolé," which means "flown away" or "taken off," but this usage is unrelated to the culinary or wrapping definitions. It is important to distinguish between these different potential meanings when encountering the word.
