Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Cook the wild rice and basmati rice mix according to the packet instructions. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion and celery for 10 minutes, until softened. Stir in the chorizo and continue to cook for a few minutes more. Add the wine and simmer over a high heat for about 5 minutes, until nearly all of the wine has evaporated.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the rice and sage. Season well.
- Fill the body cavity of each poussin with the rice mixture. Rub the poussins’ skin with a little butter, season, and drape a few sage leaves over each breast. Drizzle the sage with a little oil and roast for 35 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Serve with any leftover rice and a salad.
