Guinea fowl tortelli with spiced butter and pomegranate – Italian Cuisine

Guinea fowl tortelli with spiced butter and pomegranate


1) Arrange the flour, add the eggs, a pinch of salt and start to work the dough; when it will be smooth and elastic divide it in 4 loaves, wrap them up in plastic wrap and let them rest.

2) Chop shallots e brown them in a saucepan with the chopped bacon and 6 tablespoons of oil; take them off and keep them aside. In the same pot browned the pieces of guinea fowl until they are golden. Wet with the Cognac, flame it, add the prepared sauce, the bay leaf, the cloves and the juniper; salt, pepper and sprinkle with half of the wine.

3) Cover the pot, lowered the flame and cook for about 45 ', adding the remaining wine from time to time. At the end of cooking uncovered and, if the bottom is too liquid, let it shrink (it must be syrupy). Eliminate bay leaf and let it cool. Remove the skin from the guinea fowl pieces and bone them. Blend 2 thirds of the pulp with 2 thirds of its cooking juices and 2-3 tablespoons of Marsala; salt, pepper and transfer to a pastry bag.

4) Roll out the pasta in long thin sheets with the machine (penultimate notch) e obtained discs with a 7.5 cm pastry cutter. Squeeze yourself the filling and fold them into a crescent; wrap them up around the index finger, weld the 2 tips, fold them and form the tortelli. Let them dry on a surface sprinkled with semolina.

5) Frayed the remaining pieces of guinea fowl, put them back in the pan with the remaining butter and the sauce and Marsala and heat them. Boil the tortelli al dente and drain directly into the pan with the sauce. Transfer them on a serving dish and garnish with pomegranate grains.

Recipe Grappa, jujube and pomegranate – Italian Cuisine


  • 5 large jujubes (or 6-7 medium-sized)
  • 6 ml of reserve grappa
  • 1/4 of a pomegranate
  • ice

For the recipe of the cocktail with grappa, jujube and pomegranate, cool a cocktail glass. With an extractor, extract the juice of 5 large jujubes (or 6-7 medium-sized ones). Alternatively, blend the fruits and then filter or crush them in a mortar and filter the juice obtained.
United 6 ml of grappa reserve, cool with an ice cube and mix.
Collect the shelled grains of 1/4 of a pomegranate in a fine mesh colander and mash them with a pestle to obtain the juice.
Cool it down with an ice cube. Pour the pomegranate juice, without the ice, into the cup and complete with the mix of jujubes and grappa. The two juices will remain separate due to their very different textures: silky and sweet that of jujubes, liquid and tannic that of pomegranate. On the nose you will first feel the grappa which, pleasantly, almost disappears in the mouth, leaving room for freshness.

The pomegranate in 3 versions


In the glass, on risotto, on your face: 3 original ways to use pomegranate at home – of course, quick and easy!

Let's start by specifying that the pomegranate is the edible fruit of the pomegranate, although we often use this term incorrectly to indicate the fruit – a bit as if we were saying to eat a pear instead of a pear. If it is true that the first to plant this fruit was Aphrodite, goddess of love, beauty and fertility, there must be a reason … In fact, in addition to their magnificent color, the beans are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants: they help to combat seasonal ailments and are a natural "anti-aging".

In the glass

Like Bellini, Rossini and Mimosa, Tintoretto is a sparkling, effervescent cocktail, excellent as an aperitif: pour 2/3 of Prosecco and 1/3 of fresh filtered juice into glasses. Complete with ice and decorate as desired.

In the risotto

Squeeze a pomegranate like an orange and filter 150 g of juice. Cook it for 10 minutes with 25 g of white wine, 25 g of vinegar, 20 g of sugar. Add the sauce to the Parmesan risotto. Pomegranate juice also makes an excellent vinaigrette to dress fish and salads: 2/3 of oil, 1/3 of juice, salt and pepper.

On the face

For fresher skin, make a mask with 2 tablespoons of pomegranate juice and a teaspoon of 100% pure cocoa. Leave it on for about half an hour then rinse.
