METHOD
Stuffing
- Soak the apricots in the hot tea for 30 minutes. Drain well.
- Finely chop the chicken livers. Add the thinly sliced apricots, nuts, drained chopped pineapple, thyme, bread crumbs, brown sugar, mustard and egg whites. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
- Season the cavity of the capon lightly with salt and pepper. Stuff the bird. Close up the opening with kitchen string.
Cooking
- Preheat the oven to 180° C (350° F). Place the capon in an appropriate roasting pan and cook for 2 hours, basting frequently with the pan juices (or if necessary, a bouillon cube dissolved in a cup of water).
- Remove the capon from the oven and press the brown sugar/powdered almond mixture onto the surface of the bird. Return to the oven and cook 30 minutes longer.
- Degrease the cooking juices with the pineapple and apple juices. Cook the wild rice.
- Carve and serve the capon surrounded by a little sauce. Garnish each plate with a few apricots, pineapple wedges and toasted nuts.
