How to Cook Guinea Fowl and Bacon Casserole
- Cut the guinea fowls in two down the middle and coat them completely in olive oil. Add salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste. Place the guinea fowl halves in a casserole dish with the cut side downwards and lay two slices of bacon over each portion. Peel and roughly chop the onions and cut the tomatoes into quarters. Add these to the casserole and sprinkle the thyme over.
- Place the casserole dish (uncovered) in a preheated moderate oven Mk 6 - 400ºF - 200ºC. Once the bacon has begun to grill, baste with the white wine. Cook for 35-40 minutes, basting regularly with the juices. Serve hot with creamed potatoes or roast potatoes

Reviews of Guinea Fowl and Bacon Casserole
![]() An extremely good lunch for three. It looked and tasted delicious. Even though there were only three of us, I bought two birds and there was none left at the end! (I was hoping I might get some to eat cold over the next couple of days!) I served this with braised red cabbage and potato mash in quinnels. It was delicious and is a recipe I will definitely be doing again! CharlieF (2 reviews) |
![]() Did this for Sunday lunch - very nice, but I had to put it back in after taking the bacon off, because although the juices were running clear, the middle part of the breast meat wasn't fully cooked. I'd allow 45-50 minutes cooking time in future jimscott (5 reviews) |

Rabbit with Mustard is one of the great traditional dishes of French cooking that came from the countryside peasant recipes of long ago.

There is culinary harmony between the combined flavours of poultry and bacon. This recipe makes the best use of that rapport through its simplicity

For many, many years, I avoided pigeon since my memories of it were as an extremely gamey meat. However, I was to be proved wrong...
