Procedure for preparing guinea fowl
Usually the guinea fowl is already bought clean with only the liver inside (good for the filling or for a sauce). Cut it into 4 pieces, lay it on a baking sheet with baking paper and brush it with a mix of oil and salt. Cooking according to table.
Remove the hardest outer leaves of the artichokes, cut the tip with the spines and
clean the stem. Cut the artichokes in half and bag them in vacuum cooking bags.
Peel the potatoes and cut them in half. Leave them to rest in cold water for
about an hour so they lose some of their starch. Place them on a baking sheet with
parchment paper, season with a little oil E.V.O. and cook them following the table.
Plating
On the bottom of the plate place some of the sauce made from the cooking of the guinea fowl,
then lay the pieces of guinea fowl, followed by artichokes and potatoes.
Finish with a round of oil, a sprig of rosemary and some sage leaves.
Chef tips
Passing the guinea fowl over a live flame helps to eliminate the residues of feathers and down.
To prevent the artichokes from becoming dark, keep them in water and lemon
until used or vacuum-pack them immediately after cut.
