Do you keep the guinea fowl whole? And any particular type of mushrooms? Thank you!

made this 3 times, its easy and very tasty, sweet and creamy
I use shallots and add a touch of cumin and paprika in addition to the mustard
don't add garlic or you wont' really taste the pintade
we have it with white rice steamed with a pinch of herbes de provence
