Rolled stuffed boned guinea fowl recipe

Preparation and cooking

• - If you do not know how to bone guinea fowl, have it prepared by your butcher.
  Once boned, you have to cut it into three parts. Every leg and thigh together and the remaining part in a piece. In this way you can have the three little roast meats you can see in the photo.
  The performance is definitely higher and, over all, your rolled meats are more homogeneous.
• - Slice leek very finely and let it fry slightly in 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil.
• - Prepare frittata (Italian omelette).
  Beat eggs wth a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon chives.
  Reheat oil and leek, pour in beaten eggs and stir to amalgamate all ingredients.
  Let cook on one side, turn it upside down and cook on the other side.
  Your frittata is ready.
  Let it cool and then cut it into three parts for the size of the three pieces of guinea fowl, one larger and two smaller.
• - Salt the inside of guinea fowl pieces, sprinkle remaining chives and place frittata on them.
  Roll up everyone and tie with kitchen string or silicone food laces you see in the photo.
  Help yourself with some rather long wooden stick, if necessary.
• - Put remaining olive oil in a pot.
  Transfer your three guinea fowl rolled pieces and let them fry slightly on all sides, on low heat.
  Pour in Cointreau liqueur, increase heat and let it evaporate partially, 3 minutes.
  Pour in orange juice too, let all flavor on all sides.
  Season to taste with salt, add 2 ladles of hot water and continue cooking, turning your meat now and then, until tender, 40 to 50 minutes.

Just before serving

• - Once turned off the stove, let your meat rest, some minutes.
  Remove strings, cut guinea fowl roasts into thick slices and serve on individual plates.
