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!
