Why This Original Provençal Christmas Recipe Idea Will Transform Your Table

Because Christmas deserves elegance and surprise. Because guinea fowl offers delicate, tender flesh that is lighter than the usual turkey. And because Provençal black truffle brings that intense, luxurious aroma reminiscent of our winter markets.

In fact, this original Provençal Christmas recipe idea perfectly blends tradition and modernity. Quite simply, it impresses without keeping you in the kitchen for hours. Finally, it highlights the local produce we cherish at Domaine des Oullières.

Ingredients for 4 People: Preparing an Original Provençal Christmas Recipe Idea

So gather 4 guinea fowl suprêmes with skin on. Then 50 g fresh black truffle (or 30 g truffle paste). Next, 100 g good-quality sausage meat and 50 g pitted black olives, finely chopped.

Add 2 garlic cloves, a bunch of flat-leaf parsley, fresh thyme, rosemary and a pinch of Guérande salt. Finally, extra-virgin Provençal olive oil, butter and freshly ground pepper.

Step-by-Step Recipe

First, prepare the stuffing. Finely chop the truffle, olives, garlic and herbs. Mix with the sausage meat and a tablespoon of olive oil.

Then carefully cut a pocket into each suprême. Stuff generously. Close with cocktail sticks or kitchen string.

Next, heat butter and oil in a heavy pan. Sear the suprêmes on all sides until golden. Transfer to a preheated oven at 180°C for 15–18 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the accompaniment. Roast parsnips, carrots and potatoes with lavender honey and rosemary. Or choose a simple pan of ceps if they are in season.

Finally, rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, drizzled with the reduced pan juices.

Thus, your original Provençal Christmas recipe idea becomes the star of the festive table.

The Perfect Pairing with Absolu Rouge from Domaine des Oullières

Because our Absolu Rouge, a powerful yet velvety blend of Syrah and Grenache, elevates this dish beautifully. Its aromas of ripe black fruit, preserved cherry and gentle spice envelop the tender guinea fowl.

And its silky tannins balance the rich umami of the truffle and the saltiness of the olives. Finally, notes of garrigue and undergrowth extend the Provençal flavours endlessly.

In short, this pairing turns a simple meal into an unforgettable gastronomic experience.

So come and taste or take home Absolu Rouge at the Domaine des Oullières cellar.

This year, celebrate Christmas with authenticity and refinement. Treat your loved ones to the very best of Provence.
