Preparation

For the pickled vegetables:

• Peel the onions and carrots and cut them into thin julienne strips. Put them in a saucepan with the virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt and cook over a medium heat for about 20 minutes. Don’t let them brown.
• Put the vinegar and honey in another saucepan, reduce by a third and mix with the vegetables poached previously. Set aside for later.
• For the guinea fowl:
• Cut the guinea fowl into portions of about 190 g. Heat a little virgin olive oil in a frying pan and toast it on the outside. Season with salt and pepper and place in oven bags, add the vegetables with the marinade and cook en papillote-style at 170º for 40 minutes.

For the pickle layer:

• Heat all the ingredients in a saucepan except the gelatine, which should be hydrated in cold water. Simmer until it reaches 90º or boils. Remove from the heat and add the gelatine.
• Pour into metal rings lined with cling film and place on a tray, tapping a few times to avoid bubbles. Leave to set in the fridge. Once set, store on layers of greaseproof paper.

Finish and presentation

Remove the chicken from the papillote, place in a casserole dish and add the virgin olive oil. Stir constantly until the olive oil is mixed into the marinade.

Serve a portion of guinea fowl and a few pickled vegetables in a deep dish. Cover with the pickle layer and, for decoration, place a clove of garlic previously glazed in virgin olive oil.

This recipe can be used with free-range chicken, pheasant, or other tasty poultry. If the pickle layer complicates preparation too much, it can be omitted.
