Tuscan guinea fowl with rosemary is an exquisite dish that combines the tenderness of guinea fowl meat, the aroma of fresh rosemary, and the refined depth of white wine. Inspired by Tuscan cuisine, this recipe brings Mediterranean notes into Russian tradition. The sautéed guinea fowl thighs acquire an appetizing golden crust and are then braised in a rich sauce with wine, broth, and shallots. Rosemary leaves add a sophisticated herbal aroma to the dish while complementing the creamy texture of the sauce. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner, especially accompanied by rice or rustic bread that will soak up the rich juices and enhance the flavor. Tuscan guinea fowl is not just food; it's a little journey to sunny Tuscany through taste and aromas.
