The sauce: bring chicken stock to the boil. Add
cream and a few firm shoots of Pineau des
Charentes. Reduce and bind the sauce.
Season to taste.
The hot peas pesto: sauté chopped onion and
garlic in some butter. If you use peas from the
freezer, cook them first (a few minutes on the
highest setting) in the microwave. You can also
steam them. Keep a handful of peas for
finishing and put the rest in the pan with the
onion and garlic. Let them simmer together for
a few more minutes on low heat. Season to
taste with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, roast the pine nuts and grate the
Parmesan. Put them both together with the
peas in the blender. Add a little poultry stock
and mix until homogenous. Deep fry red onion
rings.
Make a puree of sweet potato, in the same
way as you make ordinary mashed potatoes.
Fill Creuset pots with it, cover with ground
Gruyère and let it gratinate under the grill.
Fry the guinea fowl fillets on both sides in a
deep pan. Leave to cook covered for another
10 minutes on low heat. Leave to rest for a
while.
On the dinner plate: a pre-cut guinea fowl fillet
topped with the sauce. Place the fried onion
rings on top. Next to that a ring of warm peas
pesto. Sprinkle on the pesto and all around, the
warmed separately steamed peas. Put a jar of
sweet potato gratin in the free space.
