Guinea fowl with porcini and lardons

12 ingredients 30 min + 1 hr Serves 6 openrecipes

This is a really smart main course, which is actually very simple to prepare in advance and reheat on the day. Guinea fowl are full of flavour, but not as big as chicken and the drumsticks are quite small, so use two birds to serve six.
