My husband loves grilled quail and this is the recipe he uses. I prefer to marinate 8 hours. When cooking game birds, the juices will be slightly pink when thoroughly cooked.

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Roast     Vegetarian     Dinner     Winter     Gourmet     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds shallots, halved (or quartered if large)
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
4 large red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
1 tablespoon coarse salt
4 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into bits

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss shallots with 1 tablespoon oil and roast in a shallow baking pan in lower third of oven 25 minutes. Toss together squash, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, salt, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Add roasted shallots and divide between 2 large shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pans. Dot vegetables in each pan with half of butter and roast in upper and lower thirds of oven, stirring occasionally and switching position of pans halfway through roasting, until vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes total.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients and tools are prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your dish turns out perfectly.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always yield the best results. When possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients to support local farmers and get the highest quality produce.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your dishes well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also experiment with other spices and herbs to create unique flavor profiles.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When sautéing, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly and will make it difficult to get a good sear.
  • Cook to the Correct Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that your quail is cooked to the correct internal temperature. This will help you avoid overcooking or undercooking the meat.
