Fesh Quail

Quail is a small game bird that is highly valued for its tender meat and rich flavor. Quail is native to Europe but is now widely farmed in many parts of the world, including North America, Asia, and Australia.

Quail meat is known for its delicate texture and slightly gamey flavor, which is often compared to chicken but with a more nuanced taste. Quail is also leaner than chicken, with a higher proportion of protein and lower fat content, making it a healthier alternative.

Quail can be cooked in a variety of ways, including roasting, grilling, and pan-searing. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a range of dishes, from simple salads to more elaborate gourmet preparations. Quail eggs are also popular, with a slightly richer flavor than chicken eggs, and are used in many different cuisines.

In addition to its culinary appeal, quail is also a good source of nutrients. It is high in protein, vitamin B12, and iron, which are essential for maintaining a healthy body. Quail is also lower in calories than many other meats, making it a great choice for those looking to maintain a healthy diet.

 

Roast Quail


This is a basic roast quail recipe that can serve as a stepping stone for other, fancier recipes. Once you know how to properly roast a quail, you can then play with glazes or marinades -- even though I am not normally a fan of marinades, they will work with quail because the birds are so small.

Ingredients

OPTIONAL BRINE

  • 1/4 cup kosher salt
  • 1 quart water
  • 2 bay leaves

QUAIL

  • 4 whole plucked quail
  • Lard, butter or olive oil
  • Salt
  • 2 celery sticks (optional)
  • Black pepper
  • Lemon wedges (optional)


Instructions

  • If you choose to brine your quail, boil the water or wine with the kosher salt and bay leaves, then turn off the heat and let cool. Submerge the quail in this brine for 2 to 6 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 500°F, or if it doesn't get that hot, as hot as your oven will go. This will take a little while for most ovens, up to 30 minutes. While the oven is preheating, take the quail out of the fridge and pat them dry. Coat with lard, olive oil or butter (your quail will be browner with melted butter) and salt generously. Set aside at room temperature while the oven heats.
  • When the oven is hot, get a small roasting pan or cast-iron frying pan and set the quail in it. They will want to tip over, so steady them with cut pieces of the celery stick. Try to prevent the quail from touching each other to speed the cooking process.
  • Roast the quail in the oven for 12 to 18 minutes. The lower end of the spectrum will give you quail that are juicy, succulent and a little pink on the inside -- but pale. The higher end of the spectrum will give you a fully cooked, browner quail, but one that is at the edge of being dry. Your choice.
  • When you take the quail out of the oven, place on a cutting board and rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Use this time to make the wild game sauce of your choice, or just squirt lemon juice on the birds before serving.

Notes

I include a brining step here if you like brining. If you do brine your quail, they will be more tender and you can cook them a few minutes longer -- but you run the risk of them becoming too salty. Don't brine too long! If you don't brine, the meat will have a nicer texture, but you have less room for error when you roast them.
