While the combination of Guinea Hen, escarole, and red pear may seem like the contents of a contestant’s basket on “Chopped", trust us on this one! The Guinea Hen has a unique, rich flavor that pairs perfectly with a range of curry spices and the escarole balances out the dish and adds texture to the creaminess of the curried basmati rice.

Steps

45 mins

1

Add curry salt to the ground guinea hen meat and mix thoroughly. Divide into 12 equal portions, and press each portion into a flattened meatball.
2

Place 1 3/4 cups of water into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, add kosher salt, and stir in rice. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until water is fully absorbed. Cover, and let stand for about ten minutes.
3

While rice is cooking, heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to lightly coat the pan. Add the meatballs, and brown well on each side. Transfer meatballs to a plate or rimmed container.
4

Add onions, and cook while stirring for 2 minutes. Add escarole and 1/4 cup of water. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and sweet curry spice, add in meatballs and any juices. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes. Adjust seasoning as desired.
5

Fluff butter into rice with a fork.
6

Divide rice in two bowls, ladle curried guinea meatballs over rice and top with diced red pear. Enjoy!
