Recipe notes
This simple recipe pairs quick-cooking poussin with sweet figs and pungent olives with juicy effects. Easy to scale up, it can be a lovely meal for two or a memorable dish at a dinner party buffet.
RECIPE Preparation
- Combine marinade ingredients: olive oil, wine vinegar, bay leaves, oregano, capers, salt, and pepper. Mix the poussin with fruit, garlic, and olives in a bowl, then add the marinade. Put it in the refrigerator overnight.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the poussin in an oven-proof pan and pour the marinade over it. Then pour the wine over the poussin and sprinkle it with the brown sugar and chopped parsley.
- Cook for 25-30 min (or until internal temp is 165 degrees), basting a few times during the baking.
- Cut poussin in half and serve with the fruit and juices. Great over rice or orzo. The juices are so good that you’ll want to spoon them up.
