  • In a bowl, mix the butter with the parsley and anchovies.
  • Transfer the flavored butter to a sheet of baking paper and roll it up inside the paper to form a cylinder.

  • Add a knob of flavored butter to the pan.
  • Place the meat in the pan and soak continuously with the butter while cooking.
  • Cook for about ten minutes until the outside is nicely glazed.
  • Serve by placing the artichokes on the base of the plate and the guinea fowl breast on top.
