Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 ounces whole-grain bread, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup diced carrot
1/2 cup diced celery
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 cup chicken stock, plus more if needed
8 quail, semi-boneless (with leg and thigh-bone, or ask your butcher to debone)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Place the bread on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and salt. Toast for 5 to 8 minutes, until crisp. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, heat the butter until it's melted and foamy. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley, sage and chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper. Add the toasted bread and toss to combine. If you need more liquid for the bread, add more chicken stock 1/4 cup at a time. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool to room temperature
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Once the stuffing is cool, wear kitchen rubber gloves to stuff the cavity of the quails with about 1 cup of stuffing per quail. Place the remaining stuffing on the bottom of a roasting pan or large cast-iron skillet. Season the quail with salt and pepper and rest on top of the stuffing. Roast the quail for 15 to 20 minutes or until juices run clear when you pierce the skin. Serve right away.

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings as an entree or 8 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 25

1/2 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup good quality port (preferably not too sweet)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons low-salt soy sauce
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Several sprigs of fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon juniper berries
8 quail, preferably fresh, with breast and backbones removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds poultry bones, necks, and wing tips (quail, chicken, duck, or any combination of the three)
2 carrots, roughly chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 onion, diced (about 1/2 cup)
3 ribs celery, roughly chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 clove garlic, crushed with the flat of a knife blade
3 quarts water
1/2 cup veal stock, or beef stock
1 cup good quality port
2 tablespoons good quality port
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Using a wire whisk, combine the marinade ingredients in a stainless steel bowl. Add the quail and rub thoroughly with the marinade, inside and out. (Don't be afraid to use your hands.) Cover the bowl and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
  • The Port Sauce with which the quail will be served may be made while the quail is marinating. Combine the bones, vegetables, and seasonings in a roasting pan and roast in a 375 degrees oven for 2 hours, turning occasionally, until everything is well browned. Transfer the bones and vegetables to a heavy bottomed stock pot and cover with the water. Bring to a boil, add the veal stock or beef broth, lower the heat to a simmer, and cook 1 1/2 hours. Strain this rich stock into another sauce pan, add the cup of port, and simmer again to the reduce liquid to 11/2 cups. At this point, the sauce may be cooled and refrigerated for up to two days. Rewarm the sauce during the quail's preparation and add the final enrichment of port and butter just prior to serving. This will both enhance the final flavor and give the sauce a silken sheen.
  • To cook the quail, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a cast iron or other heavy bottomed, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Drain the quail of excess marinade and pan roast, uncovered, until mahogany in color (about 3 minutes on each side). Place the ovenproof skillet and quail in the oven for 9 minutes. Serve immediately with the port sauce.

BAKED QUAIL



Baked Quail image

This is the essential game-bird hunter's recipe. If you've never had quail, they are very mild white meat, all breast, really. In any case, this is a tasty recipe that easily deals with a good brace of birds. You could use this recipe for 2 or 3 (thawed) Cornish Game hens if you increase the baking time to 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Categories     Quail

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 quail (cleaned and rinsed)
1 cup fresh mushrooms, chopped
1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon seasoning salt
3 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon scallion, minced
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, minced
8 orange slices (for garnish)
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 325-degrees F.
  • If the quail have been shot in the wild, inspect them all for lead shot, removing any shot with tweezers or the point of a paring knife.
  • Lightly rub all the quail, inside and out with the seasoned salt.
  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the mushrooms, bread crumbs, and table salt until the mushrooms tenderize a bit. Stuff the quail with this mixture.
  • Using the same skillet, make a roux by pouring in the olive oil and browning the flour in it. Then, add the chicken stock, scallions, red pepper, and parsley to the roux and saute the mix for about 5 minutes, until the onions are tender.
  • Next, spray a baking pan or large casserole dish with cooking spray and place the stuffed quail in it. Pour the sauce over the quail.
  • Baked, uncovered, at 325-degrees F. for 45 minutes, basting 2 or 3 times during the baking process.
  • Serve two quail to a person and garnish each plate with two orange slices. Serve cooked white rice as a side dish.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, plump quail: Look for quail that are a healthy pink color with no signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Brine the quail before cooking: This will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
  • Use a good quality red wine for the marinade: A full-bodied red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will add depth of flavor to the dish.
  • Sear the quail before baking: This will help to brown the skin and lock in the juices.
  • Roast the quail at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
  • Let the quail rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Quail baked in wine is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of tender quail, rich red wine, and savory herbs creates a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook quail, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
