HOW TO MAKE POT-ROAST GUINEA FOWL
Method
- Heat the oven to 150C, gas 2. Trim the vegetables – you don’t need to peel them but quarter any that are too big. Put the guinea fowl in the bottom of a large casserole and then surround with the carrots, parsnips, turnips, onion, garlic and herbs. Season well, then add the stock and vermouth. Cover with a lid and put in the oven for 1 hour. Baste occasionally.
- Turn up the heat to 180C, gas 4 and remove the lid, basting again. Cook for a further 30 minutes or until the thigh juices run clear.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately with roast potatoes or lots of crusty bread to mop up the juices.
