Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Sprinkle the guinea hens with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the pieces in one layer. Add the hen pieces skin side down and cook, turning the pieces often, until browned all over.

  3. Step 3

    Add the onions and mushrooms and stir. Cook about two minutes. Sprinkle with flour and stir so that the ingredients cook evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Add the wine, water, bay leaf, thyme and parsley. Cover and cook about 20 minutes. Uncover and let cook about 10 minutes longer.
