Why it works: Turkey and sauce work together. They rank in the top 20% of all ingredient pairs, and cooks put them together in 531 recipes. Both carry ethanol, which smells alcoholic, ethereal. The science ↓
Guinea Fowl, Boasted
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.
Hang the guinea fowl for as long as possible before cooking.
Stuff the guinea fowl with stuffing.
Roast in a 400°F (200°C) oven for about 1 hour.
Serve with gravy and sauce piquante.
Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
