chicken stock

🥗Healthier: vegetable stock

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable stock is lighter and can be made at home easily.

Prepare the guineafowl by cleaning and patting it dry.

Marinate the guineafowl with garlic, ginger, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Sauté onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, thyme, bay leaves, and cayenne pepper; cook until soft, about 10 minutes.

Place the marinated guineafowl in a roasting pan and pour the sautéed mixture over it.

Add chicken stock to the pan, covering the bottom.

Roast in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, basting occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and juices run clear.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Serve with steamed carrots and green beans, garnished with parsley.
