Poached Guinea Fowl Supreme with Wakame Seaweed Cream
Description
This recipe focuses on guinea fowl supremes cut open and filled with kombu seaweed, then rolled tightly in plastic wrap and poached at a low temperature to keep the meat tender and infused with subtle seaweed flavor. The seaweed cream sauce starts by infusing kombu in cream, followed by a sauté of shallots in butter, deglazed with white wine, and combined with vegetable stock and chopped wakame seaweed. The mixture is cooked briefly, then enriched with butter and blended into a smooth sauce, which is strained and seasoned carefully. The resulting dish balances delicate poultry with a creamy, ocean-inspired sauce, highlighting the interplay between the mild game meat and seaweed umami.

Instructions
How to Make the Guinea Fowl:
- Cut the guinea fowl supremes across the width so that they can be opened “wallet style”, like a pocket.

- Poach for 25 minutes.
How to Make the Seaweed Cream:
- Infuse the kombu in the cream for about 10 minutes.
- When it is well scented, remove the kombu.
- In a small saucepan, fry the minced shallot without coloring it with 1 knob of butter.
- Pour in the white wine, leave to boil, and then pour in the vegetable stock. Add the chopped wakame.
- Leave to cook for a few minutes, add the butter and shake strongly either with a whisk or a hand blender.
- Pour in the seasoned liquid cream and mix for a moment. Strain through a sieve.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
How to Make the Dressage:
- Remove the film from the poultry flocks and cut them into nice escalopes.
- Pour a little sauce over the cutlets.
- Sprinkle with a little fleur de sel and serve immediately.
