Petit salé

Petit salé is salted pork,[1] usually produced according to a French method of immersing cuts of pork for up to two days in brine.[2]

Petit salé is often used as an abbreviation for the recipe 'petit salé aux lentilles' (literally: petit salé with lentils),[3] a dish containing pork, vegetables and lentils.

The webpage translates 'petit salé' as 'slightly salted', and by extension 'petit salé' could translate as 'slightly salted pork' (or 'lightly salted pork').
