Another food I never ate or prepared before moving to Alabama. Can't imagine now not eating these sweet little birds. Yummy.

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 dove, dressed and cleaned
6 Tbsp butter, unsalted
3 Tbsp all purpose flour
2 c chicken stock
1/2 c sherry, pale and dry
kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Season the dove with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a heavy skillet and brown the dove. Remove the dove to a baking dish. Add flour to the butter in the skillet and stir to combine.
  • 2. Slowly add the chicken broth, sherry, salt and pepper. Mix well and pour over the dove. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes - 1 hour or until the quail are done. This is very good served over rice with some homemade biscuits.
