Poultry and Game Recipes - Grilled Guinea Fowl with Fresh Herb Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

Serve 4

  • 4 boneless guinea fowl breasts

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • salt and pepper

Herb sauce:

  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 4 anchovy fillets, chopped

  • large handful of flat leaf parsley

  • handful of rocket leaves

  • handful of sorrel leaves

  • handful of basil leaves

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 125 ml/4 fl oz extra virgin olive oil

Method:

  1. Put the guinea fowl breasts, skin side up, on a lightly oiled grill pan, brush with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  2. Place the pan under a preheated grill and cook the guinea fowl for about 10 minutes on each side.

  3. Meanwhile, make the herb sauce. Put the garlic, anchovies, parsley, rocket, sorrel, basil and lemon juice into a food processor or blender and process for 1 minute.

  4. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil; the sauce should be thick and bright green with a strong fresh aroma.

  5. Finally, season with salt and pepper and process again. The guinea fowl is ready when the skin is crunchy and dark brown.

  6. Serve with a little herb sauce on each plate and the remainder in a small dish.
