Directions

180 min.
1. Step

Preheat the oven to 180°C. This step is essential to ensure that the capon cooks evenly.

2. Step

On the other hand, cut the bacon into small cubes and fry it in a frying pan with a little butter until it is well browned. Then add the veal and cook until well done.

3. Step

Chop the onions and garlic cloves and add to the pan. Cook over medium high heat until golden brown. The onions and garlic give the stuffing a deep, complex flavor.

4. Step

Add the chopped olives, nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and turn off the heat.

5. Step

Stuff the capon with this mixture and sew the opening. Wrap the capon in the remaining bacon. This will give it extra juiciness and protect it during cooking.

6. Step

In a baking dish, place the capon, add the glass of white wine and the chicken stock. This is a secret my grandmother taught me, it adds moisture and flavor during cooking.

7. Step

Bake for 2 1/2 hours, making sure to baste the capon with the broth every 30 minutes. This step is crucial for a crispy skin and juicy interior.

8. Step

Let the capon rest for 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to drain.
