HALITA refers to the searing of uncooked meat in boiling water.
The purpose of Halita is directly connected to the Torah prohibition against the consumption of blood.
Clarification on the details of this Biblical prohibition can be found in chapter 6 of Hil. Ma'akhaloth Asuroth in the Mishneh Torah.
According to the Geonim and the Rambam, Halita is required for all meats, even poultry. Fish and grasshoppers are exempt ;)
Halita is also unnecessary for meats that one plans to roast over an open fire or in any manner of roasting that allows for the juices to flow away from the meat while the meat is being cooked.
