French term
retournez d'un cordon
French to English

Cooking / Culinary
From a French recipe (Ecrevisses du Léman, piperade en cassolette):
Retournez les ramequins au centre des assiettes, dressez les queues d'écrevisses autour de la timbale obtenue. Avec l'huile d'écrevisses, lustrez cette timbale, retournez d'un cordon et versez sur les écrevisses. Servez.
I'm probably missing something very obvious here, but what does the "retournez d'un cordon" part mean?
Many thanks in advance for any help...

drizzle some around
Think it just means drizzle literally a trail/string/ribbon of the sauce around the timbales then pour the rest onto the écrévisses.
This site doesn't use the same verb but the idea's the same, I think.

Disposer sur l'omelette 2 belles queues d'écrevisses avec une lame de truffe au milieu, et l'entourer d'un cordon de sauce Nantua.

sorry, I meant drizzle some of the oil, not sauce (thinking of lunch!). I think the author probably means "entourez" rather than "retournez".
