Categories     dinner, main course

Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 quail
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 pound mushrooms, chopped
1 cup white bread crumbs
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon tarragon, chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 cloves garlic, halved, skin and any green part removed
1/2 cup blanched toasted slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Wipe the quail dry with paper towels and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Using a frying pan that can go into the oven and on top of the stove (preferably cast iron) soften the shallot in the butter. Add shallots to a bowl with the mushrooms, breadcrumbs, parsley, tarragon, salt and pepper. Mix well and moisten with a little of the white wine. Stuff the mixture into the bird cavities.
  • Heat the oil in the skillet. Add the stuffed quail, breast down and brown lightly. Add the remaining wine and the garlic cloves. Cover and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Turn the quail breast up, turn up the heat to 400 and continue cooking for five to 10 minutes or until the quail are cooked.
  • Remove the quail to a heated platter. Bring the sauce in the skillet to a boil over high heat and reduce by about a third. Remove the garlic cloves and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the quail, sprinkle with almonds and serve.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little more salt and pepper to the quail before cooking.

I cooked the quail for a little longer than the recipe called for, and it was still very tender.

I substituted chicken broth for the white wine, and it turned out just as well.

The white wine sauce was a perfect complement to the quail. It was rich and creamy, without being too heavy.
