This article is about the culinary term indicating an almond garnish. For other uses, see Amandine.
Almondine is a culinary term indicating a garnish of almonds. The French term is amandine, but the 'almondine' spelling is probably more common in America. There is some potential confusion with two other words: almandine, a violet or amethystine tinted garnet, and amandine, a long, pale type of potato (presumably resembling an almond).

Even in America, the proper term is amandine. It is simply due to ignorance that American's spell the term incorrectly.
