Guinea fowl with boudin blanc, savoy cabbage and white onion purée
A spectacular guinea fowl recipe from Stephen Crane which is ideal for a winter feast. It's a good idea to make the boudin blanc and guinea fowl wings in advance, as the wings take 4-6 hours to confit. This recipe not only features guinea fowl legs and breasts, but also chicken breasts for the boudin blanc. It would be hard to find a more satisfying guinea fowl meal than this one.
