Ingredients

Let’s see the ingredients to prepare this recipe

  • 1 lbs guinea fowl
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 red onion (medium large)
  • as needed juniper berries
  • as needed rosemary
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • as needed thyme
  • 2 leaves bay leaves
  • as needed mixed spices (pepper, parsley, sage)
  • 1 cup cup white wine
  • 1 cup cup water
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • as needed extra virgin olive oil
  • as needed fine salt

Tools

No special tools needed

Steps

Let’s see the steps

  • First, check that the guinea fowl has no remaining feathers, wash it, then pat it dry. Take the pan and distribute inside a mixture of onion, carrot, and rosemary. Prepare a base on which you will place the guinea fowl.

    Start to seal the meat by browning it in this mixture. After two minutes, when the meat is slightly browned on both sides, add the rest of the spices, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, etc.

  • Now deglaze with white wine. Also add the water (not hot) in which you have dissolved a generous teaspoon of cornstarch, the salt, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Remember that cornstarch serves to thicken but should not be added to hot water; otherwise, it will clump.

  • Cover the pan and let it cook over medium-low heat for about 40 minutes, adjusting based on the size of your guinea fowl.

    Once ready you will see that the cornstarch has helped create a nice creamy sauce, which you will distribute over your meat.

    All that’s left to say is, ENJOY YOUR MEAL

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
