Guinea Fowl Breast

About the product

Guinea fowl breast is an exclusive poultry cut with tender, delicate meat and an elegant, full-bodied flavour. Guinea fowl is not wild game but farmed poultry, although its meat has considerably more character than ordinary chicken and a subtle game-like flavour. It is a highly regarded ingredient in European cuisine and an excellent choice when you want to serve something a little more special.

Guinea fowl breast is relatively lean and should therefore be cooked carefully to keep the meat succulent. Season with salt and pepper and sear in butter over medium-high heat until beautifully golden. Reduce the heat and finish cooking gently in the pan, or transfer to the oven at a low temperature. Allow the breast to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Its mild yet distinctive flavour makes guinea fowl breast extremely versatile. It pairs particularly well with mushrooms, thyme, rosemary, garlic and roasted root vegetables. Creamy sauces are a classic accompaniment, while apple, pear, lemon, grapes and other fruity flavours also complement the delicate meat beautifully.

Guinea fowl breast is an exciting alternative to chicken and other poultry – an elegant premium ingredient that is easy to prepare and equally suited to a special occasion or an indulgent dinner at home.

The meat is delivered vacuum-packed and frozen.
