Petit Poussin

Hittade ett recept på Petit Poussin (unga/små kycklingar) på internet.... Det får Uffe se till att göra till mig framöver.... När/om vi får faverolle-kycklingar! :-)

Poussin with Garlic and Rosemary
About this recipe:
Lemon and rosemary infused poussin are basted with a wine and garlic stock. Makes any occasion special. Crusty bread and a nice white wine complement this meal.        ''

Ingredients

Serves : 4 

  • 4 poussin
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, quartered
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 24 cloves garlic
  • 5 tablespoons white wine
  • 5 tablespoons chicken stock
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary, for garnish        

Directions

Prep:20min  ›  Cook:1hr  ›  Ready in:1hr20min 

  1. Preheat oven to 230 C / Gas mark 8.
  2. Rub poussin with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Place 1 lemon wedge and 1 sprig rosemary in cavity of each bird. Arrange in a large, heavy roasting tin, and arrange garlic cloves around them. Roast in preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  3. Reduce oven temperature to 180 C / Gas mark 4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together wine, chicken stock, and remaining 2 tablespoons of oil; pour over birds. Continue roasting about 25 minutes longer, or until birds are golden brown and juices run clear. Baste with pan juices every 10 minutes.
  4. Transfer to a platter, pouring any cavity juices into the roasting tin. Tent the birds with aluminium foil to keep warm. Transfer pan juices and garlic cloves to a medium saucepan and boil until liquids reduce to a sauce consistency, about 6 minutes. Cut them in half lengthwise and arrange on plates. Spoon sauce and garlic around the birds. Garnish with rosemary sprigs, and serve.
Tips!
"Since there are only two in my house, I made two poussin, but left the sauce the same and it turned out perfectly. If I used four, I would double the sauce because when I boiled the sauce down it was perfect for two."

Hmmmmm......jag frågade min franska fb-vän om de äter Petit Poussin i Frankrike....
Han sa att de där kycklingarna är så små så det är knappt nån mat på dem, bättre att låta dem leva till fullvuxen ålder:-)
Däremot är ju "kanin med senap" en verklig favoriträtt därnere där han bor! Ni får ut och jaga kaniner!:-)))
