Guinea Fowl
£18.00
Delicate flavour ~ Roast ~ Braise
Our guinea fowl is a fantastic choice for those looking to elevate their Sunday roast. Reared in France to the highest welfare standards, this lean and high-protein poultry option offers a rich, gamey flavor that beautifully bridges the taste between chicken and pheasant. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also a nutritious choice, being lower in fat compared to chicken and an excellent source of essential nutrients, including iron and B vitamins.
Cooking this special bird is remarkably simple. Season it inside and out with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. Sear it in a hot pan to achieve perfectly golden skin, then roast in the oven at 180°C for around 40 minutes, basting occasionally. Serve alongside roasted root vegetables and creamy mashed potatoes for a hearty, satisfying meal.
For a different approach, try Nigel Slater’s brothy roast from his book Appetite, described as “a winter supper to revive and restore.” And it does exactly that!
One guinea fowl will feed three to four people, making it a perfect choice for a small gathering or a cosy family meal.
