African Guinea Fowl

Serves 4

This is a traditional Guinean recipe for a classic stew of guinea fowl with plantains and sweet potatoes in a tomato-based sauce.

1. Fry the onions and garlic in hot butter (or oil) until soft.

2. Meanwhile sprinkle the guineafowl pieces with the salt, cayenne pepper and paprika.

3. Add these to the oil and brown on all sides until golden.

4. Add the chicken stock to the pot along with the bayleaves, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and plantains (or bananas).

5. Continue cooking for about 40 minutes until the guinea fowl are tender.

6. Adjust the seasonings (you may want a few drops of hot sauce).
