Time 20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

24 semiboneless quail
12 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
6 tablespoons olive oil
6 garlic cloves, peeled and quartered
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cups dry red wine

Steps:

  • Wash and dry quail.
  • Combine remaining ingredients and place in noncorrosive container large enough to hold quail. Place quail in marinade, turning to coat both sides. Cover. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, turning occasionally.
  • To cook, heat broiler(s). Cover broiler pan with 2 layers of aluminum foil and arrange quail on foil. If you have only one broiler, you will have to cook the quail in 2 batches. Broil 2 inches from source of heat for 5 minutes on each side. Remove metal frame holding quail open and serve with polenta (see recipe).
