Guinea fowl with garlic and rosemary served with bruschetta guinea fowl
Gennaro Contaldo
by Gennaro Contaldo
from Saturday Kitchen

Serves 4

Preparation time less than 30 mins

Cooking time 30 mins to 1 hour



Ingredients
1 guinea fowl, cut into chunks
salt and freshly ground black pepper
plain flour for dusting
150ml/10 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, sliced lengthways
large bunch rosemary, broken in half
150ml/5fl oz white wine
For the bruschetta:
few slices bread
garlic cloves


Method
1. Season the guinea fowl chunks with salt and pepper and coat with plain flour.
2. In a large heavy-based frying pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil. When hot, add the floured guinea fowl and seal well on all sides until golden-brown and quite crispy.
3. At this stage, reduce the heat to low, add the garlic and rosemary, cover with a lid and cook for 30 minutes, turning the meat from time to time.
4. After 30 minutes increase the heat to high, remove the lid, add the white wine (if you wish you could flambé the fowl now) or allow to evaporate.
5. To make the bruschetta, when the guinea fowl is ready, toast some slices of bread. Immediately rub on some garlic and drizzle some of the olive oil from the guinea fowl sauce. Serve the guinea fowl with slices of bruschetta.
