GRILLED QUAIL WITH SOUTH CAROLINA BARBECUE SAUCE
I love barbecue no matter where it's from, but I am especially fond of the mustard-based South Carolina style of barbecue sauce. Traditionally slathered over pulled pork, this sauce is good on anything. Use this sauce on barbecued pheasant legs, or on quick-grilled quail.

Steps:
- Make the sauce first. Heat the butter over medium heat, then add the onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 3 or 4 minutes. Add everything else, stir well and simmer slowly for 20 minutes or more. You can buzz it in a blender for a smooth sauce.
- To flatten the quail, use kitchen shears to remove the backbones of the birds by cutting along either side. Put the quail breast side up on a cutting board and press to flatten. If you want to be fancy, carefully snip out the ribs and the curved saber bones near the wishbone. Salt the quail and toss them in the vegetable oil.
- Get your grill hot and lay your quail breast side up. Grill over high heat with the grill lid down for 5 minutes. As it cooks, paint the breast side with the sauce. Turn the quail over and paint the cooked side with sauce. Grill the breast side with the grill cover up for 2 minutes, then turn over again and paint with the sauce one more time. Cover the grill and cook another 2 to 4 minutes. Take off the grill and paint with sauce one more time.

CHARCOAL-GRILLED STUFFED QUAIL
The chef Bill Neal, of Crook's Corner in Chapel Hill, N.C., taught Craig Claiborne how to make this delectable recipe in 1985. Eating well, Mr. Neal said, was his family's preoccupation in their small farming community near Gaffney, S.C. "Both my grandmothers were marvelous cooks, but no one in that community ever thought of going to a restaurant. It was all home cooking."

Steps:
- Heat a charcoal grill until white ash forms on top of the coals.
- Split each quail neatly along the backbone. Set aside.
- Put the bacon or salt pork and garlic on a flat surface and chop until almost a paste. Put the mixture in a mixing bowl and add the bread crumbs, carrot, celery, basil, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Blend thoroughly with the fingers.
- By hand, carefully separate a portion of the breast meat from the bone, to form a small pocket. Push equal portions of the pork stuffing into the cavities. Push any additional stuffing under the skin of the birds without breaking the skin. Brush the birds all over with bacon fat or oil.
- Place the quail skin side down on the grill and cook until nicely browned on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and press the outer portions together to give the bodies more of their original shape. Let cook 4 to 5 minutes on the second side, or until the desired doneness is reached.

Steps:
- Coat a large saute pan lightly with olive oil. Toss in the fennel, onions and crushed red pepper. Season with salt and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Cook the onions and fennel until they are soft and wilted but don't have any color, 7 to 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and let them cool.
- In a bowl, combine the sausage, breadcrumbs, Parmigiano, egg, parsley and cooked onions and fennel. Mix well to combine.
- Divide the stuffing among the 4 quail. Press each quail to lightly flatten and evenly disperse the stuffing. Wrap each quail with a bacon slice and secure the bacon with a toothpick. Tie the quail's legs together with butcher's twine (otherwise they will look like road kill).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Sprinkle the quail with salt and add it to the pan. Brown them really well on each side, 3 to 4 minutes. When the quail are brown on both sides, transfer the quail to a baking sheet and put them in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven, remove the toothpicks and reserve the quail.
- Meanwhile, ditch the fat from the pan and add the port wine. Cook the wine over medium heat until it has reduced by half. Add 3/4 cup chicken stock, season with salt and reduce by half. Add the remaining chicken stock and reduce it by about three-quarters, or until it seems a little bit thickened. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Divide the arugula among 4 serving plates. Place a quail on each pile of arugula and spoon some of the sauce on the quail and the arugula. Serve immediately.
STUFFED QUAIL
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place the bread on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and salt. Toast for 5 to 8 minutes, until crisp. Transfer to a large bowl.
- In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, heat the butter until it's melted and foamy. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley, sage and chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper. Add the toasted bread and toss to combine. If you need more liquid for the bread, add more chicken stock 1/4 cup at a time. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool to room temperature
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Once the stuffing is cool, wear kitchen rubber gloves to stuff the cavity of the quails with about 1 cup of stuffing per quail. Place the remaining stuffing on the bottom of a roasting pan or large cast-iron skillet. Season the quail with salt and pepper and rest on top of the stuffing. Roast the quail for 15 to 20 minutes or until juices run clear when you pierce the skin. Serve right away.

Steps:
- Trim off the tips and the first joint of the wings from each quail, and discard. Trim off the neck if necessary. Set quail aside.
- Prepare relish: In a small bowl, gently mix the papaya, crushed red-pepper flakes, jalapeno, lime zest and juice, white pepper, and salt. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving.
- Prepare the poaching liquid: In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, tamari, five-spice powder, rice-wine vinegar, and sugar. Measure 2 tablespoons of the poaching liquid and set aside for the sesame dressing. Bring the remaining liquid to a boil. Blanch the quail in the poaching liquid, one by one, while you count to 8, then remove and drain well. Repeat this process one more time. Split each quail in half so that each half has a half breast, leg, and thigh. If you are not cooking immediately, refrigerate until you are ready to grill. The poaching liquid may be frozen and used again. Be sure to bring to a full rolling boil before beginning.
- Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, lime juice, chiles, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and the 2 tablespoons poaching liquid until the sugar has dissolved. Gradually whisk in the oils, and continue to whisk until fully emulsified.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill pan with peanut oil. Grill the quail bone-side down, turning them when they are heated through and the skin is caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill pan. Set aside and keep warm.
- Prepare the vegetable: Heat the peanut oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the bok choy and long beans. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add enough sesame dressing to coat the vegetables lightly, and cook until just tender yet still somewhat crisp.
- Place the vegetables on a large serving plate. Top with grilled quail and some of the relish. Drizzle all over with a little of the remaining sesame dressing. Serve remaining relish on the side.
GRILLED QUAIL WRAPPED IN PANCETTA WITH SAGE AND HONEY
Steps:
- To make the stuffing, warm the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat until the oil is almost smoking and slides easily in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the pancetta and cook to render the fat but not brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, sage, rosemary, and thyme; season with the salt and pepper, and cook until the onion is tender and translucent, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the onion and garlic from browning. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature. Transfer the stuffing to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours to chill.
- To prepare the quail, rinse and pat dry with paper towels, checking for any remaining bones or feathers. Combine the onion, thyme, vinegar, honey, and pepper in a bowl or nonreactive baking dish large enough to hold all the quail. Place the quail in the marinade and turn to coat them on all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and place the quail in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Remove the quail from the marinade, pat dry with paper towels, and lay them on a baking sheet. One at a time, lay a quail on your work surface, open up the legs, and spoon 2 tablespoons of stuffing inside the cavity. Cross the legs to close in the stuffing. Slide the skewer through the bottom leg and then through the top leg and rotate the skewer so it's perpendicular to the legs. Return the quail to the baking sheet and repeat, stuffing the remaining birds in the same way. Unravel the pancetta if it's from a round slice and stack two slices of pancetta on your work surface. Lay the quail on top of the pancetta and wrap it around the quail, moving along the body of the quail to cover as much as possible. Return the quail to the baking sheet and repeat, wrapping the remaining quail in the remaining pancetta. (You can prepare the dish to this point up to a day in advance. Wrap the baking sheet tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until you are ready to grill. Season with salt and pepper on both sides before grilling.)
- To fry the sage leaves, pour enough olive oil into a small skillet or saucepan to fill it 1 inch deep and line a small plate with paper towels. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a pinch of salt sizzles when dropped into it. Add the sage leaves and fry for about 30 seconds, until crisp but not browned. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sage from the oil, transfer to the paper towels to drain, and season with salt. Strain the sage-infused oil through a fine-mesh strainer and reserve it to fry sage another time or to drizzle over grilled meats or vegetables. (The sage can be fried up to several hours in advance. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature.)
- To prepare the radicchio, combine the vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the radicchio leaves and soak in the marinade while you grill the quail or for up to 24 hours.
- Prepare a hot fire in a gas or charcoal grill or preheat a grill pan or heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Brush the grill grates or grill pan with olive oil.
- Place the quail breast side down on the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until it is browned and the pancetta is crisp. Turn the quail, taking care to keep the pancetta intact, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the other side. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, turning them often to prevent the outsides from burning, until they are cooked to medium. To check for doneness, squeeze the quail at the thickest point; if the flesh feels firm, it is done. If the quail appear to be searing too quickly, move them to a cooler part of the grill or lower the heat on the grill pan so they can cook through before the outsides burn. Remove the quail to a plate to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. While the quail are resting, grill the radicchio for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is browned in places but not crisp.
- To serve, remove the skewers and discard. Drape two radicchio leaves in the center of each plate, overlapping them. Lay one quail on each serving of radicchio and rest the other in another direction on top of the first. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey over and around each serving. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of the balsamico and 1 teaspoon of the finishing-quality olive oil, and scatter the fried sage leaves over each plate.

EASY GRILLED QUAIL
If you are looking for something different to grill this summer, how about quail? You can keep things simple and pair them with everyday sides or dress them up for company by serving them with couscous and shredded Brussels sprouts. Wild rice pairs nicely with them as well.

Steps:
- The quail may be prepared and seasoned the day before. If they are, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Carefully run a sharp knife lengthwise up and down one side of the backbone of each bird. Open each up, skin side down, on a flat surface, and carefully run the knife lengthwise up and down the other side of the backbone to cut it away. Discard the backbones.
- Gently press with the fingers on either side of the breast bones to make the birds lie flat. Carefully cut away breast bones, using the knife tip.
- Rub quail evenly on both sides with the mustard and oil. Smear them with the garlic, thyme, peppercorns and salt. Put the quail in a bowl and let stand until ready to use.
- When ready to cook quail, preheat a charcoal grill or the oven broiler to high.
- Arrange quail skin side down and flat on the charcoal grill or, if the broiler is to be used, place a rack on a baking dish and arrange the quail skin side up. Grill about 5 minutes on one side and turn. Cook 3 to 5 minutes longer.
- For the broiler, place quail about 4 inches from heat source. Broil about 4 minutes and turn. Broil about 3 to 5 minutes more.
- When ready to serve quail put the salad greens in a large skillet and start heating, stirring. Quickly pour the salad dressing over all and toss briefly until warm and the salad greens start to wilt. Do not overcook or allow greens to wilt completely.
- Arrange an equal portion of greens on each of 4 salad plates. Arrange 1 quail on each serving.

QUAIL RECIPE ON CHARCOAL GRILL | AMBERQ
From amberq.gr
- After skewering the quails, preheat your charcoal grill. Pile up the charcoals inside the fire cabin of your charcoal grill. Place kindling (alcohol-soaked cotton) on top and light the fire. The charcoals light upside down, from top to bottom, easily, quickly, and without smoke. When they are fully lit, spread them inside the fire cabin, and reduce the heat they release by throwing some charcoal ash on them. Grill them on medium heat, until they get a nice color. Use a thermometer to check the temperature on their cavity, so that you can tell when they’re done.
- When the internal temperature is 75⁰C (167⁰F) and the quails have the color of roasted meat, they’re ready. During the grilling process, use a brush to rub the quails with the residue from the marinade. Remove them from the grill and cover them with aluminum foil for 6-7 minutes, until they cool down a bit. Remove the skewers and cut the quails in half or into smaller pieces. Add a mix of salt and oregano, prepared beforehand. Accompany the roasted quails with white wine and fresh seasonal salads or grilled seasonal vegetables. A good company is necessary.
