GRILLED QUAIL SALAD



Grilled Quail Salad image

Provided by Craig Claiborne

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 quail, about 3/4 pound each, cleaned weight
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
2 tablespoons peanut, corn or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh thyme leaves or half the amount dried
1 tablespoon coarsely ground peppercorns
Salt to taste if desired
16 cups mixed salad greens such as spinach, curly chicory, radicchio and/or romaine, cut or torn into large, bite-size pieces
Sherry vinegar vinaigrette (see recipe)

Steps:

  • The quail may be prepared and seasoned the day before. If they are, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Carefully run a sharp knife lengthwise up and down one side of the backbone of each bird. Open each up, skin side down, on a flat surface, and carefully run the knife lengthwise up and down the other side of the backbone to cut it away. Discard the backbones.
  • Gently press with the fingers on either side of the breast bones to make the birds lie flat. Carefully cut away breast bones, using the knife tip.
  • Rub quail evenly on both sides with the mustard and oil. Smear them with the garlic, thyme, peppercorns and salt. Put the quail in a bowl and let stand until ready to use.
  • When ready to cook quail, preheat a charcoal grill or the oven broiler to high.
  • Arrange quail skin side down and flat on the charcoal grill or, if the broiler is to be used, place a rack on a baking dish and arrange the quail skin side up. Grill about 5 minutes on one side and turn. Cook 3 to 5 minutes longer.
  • For the broiler, place quail about 4 inches from heat source. Broil about 4 minutes and turn. Broil about 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • When ready to serve quail put the salad greens in a large skillet and start heating, stirring. Quickly pour the salad dressing over all and toss briefly until warm and the salad greens start to wilt. Do not overcook or allow greens to wilt completely.
  • Arrange an equal portion of greens on each of 4 salad plates. Arrange 1 quail on each serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right quail: Look for plump, young quail with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any birds that appear thin or have any signs of damage.
  • Brine the quail: Brining the quail in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar helps to keep the meat moist and flavorful during grilling.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade helps to infuse the quail with flavor and keeps it moist. Use a mixture of olive oil, herbs, spices, and citrus juice.
  • Grill the quail over medium heat: This will help to prevent the quail from drying out. Cook the quail until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the quail rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Grilled quail salad with honey-Dijon dressing is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. The quail is juicy and flavorful, and the salad is light and refreshing. The honey-Dijon dressing adds a touch of sweetness and tang that brings all the flavors together. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is also a healthy and satisfying meal.
