Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups dry white wine
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
8 crushed dry sage leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 large pomegranates
8 quails
16 thin slices pancetta
5 tablespoons lard or olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine the wine, honey, mint and sage in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Peel the pomegranates and carefully remove the seeds by breaking the pomegranates into sections.
  • Place the pomegranate seeds and the quails in the wine mixture. Let marinate in the refrigerator, 2 to 4 hours.
  • Remove the quails from the marinade and pat dry. Drain the seeds out of the marinade. Reserve 1/3 cup of the seeds and stuff the quails with the rest. Reserve the marinade.
  • Truss the quails and wrap each in two slices of pancetta.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the lard or oil and quickly brown the quails. Place them in the oven and bake 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Remove the quails from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Deglaze the pan with the reserved marinade over high heat, stir in the reserved pomegranate seeds, pour over the quails and serve.
