quails
Difficulty: easy Preparation time: 50 minutes Cooking time:40 minutes Serves 4 Ingredients: 4 quails 1/2 glass of port Extra virgin olive oil Pink salt Szechuan pepper 5 rosemary sprig
Method:
Make sure the quails are clean and eventually remove any feathers. Insert a rosemary sprig inside each quail. Bring the wings close to the bird’s flanks and tie with a string. In this way they will also look nice when you serve them. Heat oil with a garlic clove and one rosemary sprig in a large frying pan. Seal quails in the frying pan until browned all over. When they have a nice golden colour add the port and allow alcohol to evaporate. Season with salt, cover with a lid and continue cooking. Add some tablespoons of water when needed. It will take approximately 40 minutes. If you like them crispy transfer the pan into the oven, drizzle the quail with the cooking sauce and grill just for a few minutes. Serve with the sauce accompanied by sautÊ potatoes. n. 8 Dicembre 2012 - OpenKitchen
