BRAISED QUAIL



Braised Quail image

A recipe I found in one of my son's cookbooks. I've got 6 jumbo quail in the freezer and plan to make this soon. It looks simple which is how I like my quail! The recipe really didn't give cooking times or quantities of herbs etc but that's ok with me! So, I have put zero in cooking time!

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 quails, cleaned and trussed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter, plus more if needed
Splash oil
1/4 pound bacon, cut into slivers
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup white wine
1 cup veal stock
3/4 pound assorted mushrooms, trimmed and halved (1/4 part trompettes de la mort, 1/4 part chanterelles, and 1/2 part cremini)
Small handful chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Season the quails with salt, and pepper. Melt half the butter with a drop of oil in a heavy casserole, and brown the quails on all sides over medium-high heat. Cook's Note: you could also use lard. Remove the quail from the pan, and set aside. Add the bacon to the pan, brown it, and remove. Finally, fry the onion until golden, adding more fat to the pan beforehand, if needed.
  • Stir the flour into the onions, and cook 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the wine, stirring up the good bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Return the onions, bacon and quails to the pot. Pour over the stock, cover, and simmer until the quails are just cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining butter (a little more if you like) and cook each type of mushroom separate, as the various types cook differently. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper as you go, then, at the end, toss them all together with the chopped parsley.
  • When the quails are done, remove them from the cooking liquid and keep them warm while you boil the juices, uncovered, to reduce to thin sauce consistency. Add the mushrooms to the sauce. Tilt into a serving dish, set the quails on top, and serve.

QUAIL & VEGETABLES
6 - 8 slice bacon
12 dressed quail
cavender's all-purpose greek seasoning
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
2/3 c all purpose flour
1/4 c olive oil
2 large, yellow onions - rough chopped
1 large, red bell pepper - cored and rough chopped
4 stalk(s) celery - cut into 2" pieces
3 large carrots - peeled and cut into 2" pieces
2 1/2" c chicken stock
1/4 c molasses
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 c dry white wine
8 oz fresh, sliced mushrooms
GRAVY
bacon grease
all purpose flour
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
2 Tbsp cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
whole milk
1 - 3 Tbsp dry white wine (if needed)

Steps:

  • 1. Fry bacon until crisp in a cast iron skillet. Render out all of the fat and save bacon for another use.
  • 2. While bacon is frying combine the salt, pepper and flour together in a bowl. Sprinkle each quail liberally with Cavender's seasoning, dredge in the flour mixture, shake off excess and brown each bird well in the bacon grease. Set quail aside on paper towels.
  • 3. Allow the bacon grease to cool slightly; then whisk in an equal portion of flour, stirring constantly over medium heat until the roux is browned the color of peanut butter; add salt, pepper and soup, stirring until incorporated; now add an equal portion of milk, whisking vigorously until all of the lumps are gone. If the gravy is too thick, thin with the white wine a tablespoon at a time, and fully incorporate. Taste for seasonings and pour into a container, keeping it warm.
  • 4. Pour olive oil into a #12 cast iron Dutch Oven (outdoors) or a large round French Oven like Le Creuset (indoors) and heat oil over medium heat. Add the next 4 ingredients and sweat vegetables about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 5. Add quail to the pot. Mix together the chicken stock and next 4 ingredients, pouring over the quail and vegetables. Bring to a boil, COVER, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • 6. Stir mixture and add the white wine and mushrooms. RE-COVER and simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
  • 7. While the quail are braising, cook basmati rice, bake a batch of your favorite biscuits, and make sure the gravy is hot.
  • 8. Serve two quail per person on top of the rice, and spoon the mushroom gravy on the hot bisuits. A green salad or balsamic green beans will complete this hearty meal.

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.
