Instructions:

For the Honey Braised Guinea Fowl Breast:

1. Season the guinea fowl breasts with salt and black pepper.
2. In a pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the guinea fowl breasts on both sides until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.

1. In a separate pan, heat olive oil. Add sliced onion and diced courgette. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and black pepper.

For the Mushroom and Rosemary Gravy:

1. In another pan, melt butter. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and become golden brown.
2. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine, creating a roux.
3. Gradually add chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
4. Add fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Simmer until the gravy thickens.
