Steps:
- Early in the day, place the limes in s small bowl and microwave them for about 3 minutes to release the essential oils. Set aside briefly until they are just cool enough to handle. Rinse the quail and dry with paper towels. Set the quail in a non-reactive bowl and squeeze the lime juice over, and then season generously with freshly ground black pepper. Let sit refrigerated for about 3 or 4 hours.
- While the quail are marinating, make the sauce. Heat the olive oil over medium high heat in a medium saute pan and saute the shallots until translucent. Deglaze the pan with the red wine, and stir in figs and dates and let sauce reduce by half. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper as needed.
- On the episode, the quail were roasted over a spit. If you have a rotisserie arrangement you can roast them that way. Otherwise, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine olive oil with rosemary, thyme, and salt, and rub over surface of the quail. Roast until tender but still juicy, about 20 minutes. Remove and let rest. Serve with fig and date sauce.
ROAST QUAIL WITH FRESH FIGS
If you're making this entire menu, you'll want to brown the quail and figs before starting the eggs; then you can simply pop them in the oven when serving the first course.

Steps:
- Cook onion, celery, and garlic in butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until pale golden, about 10 minutes. Add demi-glace and boil, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is evaporated, about 3 minutes. Stir in tarragon, vinegar, walnuts, dried figs, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper, then spread stuffing on a plate to cool.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown figs, cut sides down, without stirring, about 3 minutes. Transfer figs to a bowl with a slotted spatula. Add shallot and celery to skillet and sauté, stirring, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Add wine and 8 to 10 browned fig halves (reserve remainder) and boil, stirring and mashing figs, until wine is reduced to a syrup, about 5 minutes. Stir in demi-glace and bring to a boil. Stir arrowroot into vinegar until dissolved, then add to skillet, whisking to incorporate. Boil sauce 2 minutes, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a 2-quart heavy saucepan, pressing on and then discarding solids. Stir in tarragon, salt, and pepper.
- Discard any disposable metal skewers from cavity of each quail, then rinse quail inside and out and pat dry. Stuff 1 quail with a scant 1/4 cup stuffing, pressing and shaping it to fill out breast. Tie legs together with string and push legs up against body. Thread cavity closed with a wooden pick. Repeat with remaining quail.
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Sprinkle quail all over with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon each butter and oil in cleaned 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown 6 quail on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Transfer with tongs to a large shallow baking pan. Wipe skillet clean and brown remaining 6 quail in same manner in remaining tablespoon each of butter and oil.
- Remove strings and picks from all quail, then roast quail, breast sides up, until just cooked through (check inner thigh - meat will still be slightly pink), 10 to 15 minutes. Add reserved browned figs to pan for last 2 to 3 minutes of roasting.
- While quail roast, return sauce to a simmer, then add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, whisking until incorporated.
- Transfer quail and figs to a serving dish and pour any juices from baking pan into sauce. Serve quail with sauce.
- Do Ahead: Stuffing can be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before proceeding. Figs and sauce (without remaining 2 tablespoons butter) can be prepared 1 day ahead and cooled, uncovered, then chilled separately, covered. Bring sauce to a simmer before adding butter. Quail can be browned 1 hour before roasting. Keep quail, uncovered, at room temperature.

Steps:
- To make a marinade, mix the herbs, lemon zest, brandy, seasoning and 6 tbsp olive oil in a large dish. Season the birds and spoon some marinade into the cavities. Roll them in the rest of the marinade, then cover and chill overnight.
- For the walnut sauce, whizz the garlic and walnuts together with a little salt in a small food processor until finely chopped. Add the oil in a thin stream, as though you're making a mayonnaise. Stir in 2 tbsp warm water. Season with pepper, add the parsley and set aside.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. To cook the quail, wipe any herbs from the breast area. Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan and, when really hot, quickly brown the birds all over, in batches, colouring but not cooking the meat.
- Put a piece of butter inside each bird and put them into a roasting tin. Roast in the oven for 15-20 mins, depending on whether you like the meat to be a little pink, adding a quarter of the vermouth after 10 mins. Put the figs in a small gratin dish in a single layer. Drizzle with the honey and balsamic, then season. Roast for 20 mins, alongside the quail, basting during cooking. The figs should be dark and tender but holding their shape. Cover to keep warm and set aside.
- Put the quail on a warm platter and cover. Put the roasting tin on the hob over a high heat. Add the rest of the vermouth, bring to the boil and bubble until there's 150ml left. Add the stock and boil until you have a slightly syrupy sauce, enough for 2 tbsp per serving of quail. Put two birds on each plate and spoon over the reduced sauce. Serve with three fig halves each and the walnut sauce.

CHICKEN WITH FIGS (POLLO CON HIGOS)
A Daisy Martinez Recipe! Read her blog! http://www.daisymartinez.com/cgi-bin/blog/ This recipe is definitely worth the extra time and effort! The result is tender chicken surrounded by a silky, sweet yet savory sauce! I made some slight changes...I substituted less than a half lb. block of (cubed) pancetta (found at the grocery near the deli cheeses) for the slab bacon and I only used 1 lb. of dried mission figs cut in half and soaked as per directions. I browned the chicken with the skin on then removed the skin before adding it to the dutch oven to simmer with the sauce. The DH does not love the dishes I make with bone-in chicken but he LOVED this one! Enjoy!!

Steps:
- Pour enough boiling water over the figs in a heatproof bowl to cover them completely.
- Add 1 tbs. sugar to figs.
- Let stand until the figs are softened, about 20 minutes, depending on your figs. (You don't need to do this if you are using fresh figs.).
- Cut off the skin from the slab bacon, then cut the bacon into ½ inch slices. (To remove the skin from the bacon, start by using a paring knife to separate the skin from the fat at one corner, then lift the skin up as you continue cutting, making it easier to see what you're doing.).
- Cut the slices crosswise into ½ inch strips.
- Toss the bacon pieces into a large cold skillet and put the pan over medium heat.
- Cook the bacon, stirring it once or twice, until it starts to give up its fat.
- Cook, stirring often, until it is well browned, about 10 minutes.
- Scoop the bacon onto paper towels with a slotted spoon and set aside, then pour off almost all the fat from the pan reserving about 1 tbs. of fat.
- Add the celery, onion, carrot, and thyme to reserved fat and cook, still over medium heat, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir everything together until the flour coats the vegetables and picks up all the fat.
- Adjust the heat to low and keep stirring until there are no traces of raw white flour sticking to the vegetables, which would give an unpleasant taste to the finished sauce.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for a minute or two.
- Take the pan off the heat and pour in the cognac. Return the pan to the heat and boil until the cognac is almost evaporated.
- Stand back from the pan once you add the cognac; there is a chance it could burst into flames.
- Pour the broth into the pan, stirring to dissolve the flour.
- Toss in the bay leaves and cloves and bring to a boil.
- Adjust the heat so the sauce is at a gentle boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is lightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
- Pour enough vegetable oil into a large deep skillet to lightly coat the bottom.
- Heat over medium-high heat until the oil is rippling.
- Add as many pieces of chicken skin side down to the pan as will fit without crowding.
- Cook, turning once, until dark golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes. The chicken doesn't have to be cooked through; it will finish cooking in the sauce.
- Transfer the browned pieces to a large paellera or Dutch oven and brown the rest of the chicken, in batches if necessary.
- Skim off any foam or fat that rises to the surface of the sauce as it cooks.
- Strain the sauce, discard the vegetables and add sauce to the browned chicken.
- Drain the figs and discard the liquid.
- Scatter the bacon and figs over the chicken, breaking up some of the figs as you go to help the sauce thicken.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, cover the paellera and cook until the chicken is tender and the figs are very soft and have started to dissolve into the sauce, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Serve with yellow rice.
- * If your stovetop is occupied, you can finish cooking this dish in an oven preheated to 350°F It will take about the same amount of time as the stovetop version. Handle the wide, heavy pan carefully when moving it into and out of the oven.
- * If using fresh figs, wash them gently and cut them into quarters before adding. Otherwise, proceed as above.

PAREJA DE CODORNICES (PAIR OF QUAIL )
In between Reynosa and Nueva Laredo, Mexico there is a reservoir (Lake) around which is a campground. On a hill overlooking the lake is a small restaraunt (only those that camp there know of it) which serves a limited menu of specialities, mostly carp taken from the lake. They also serve cordonice (quail) That I believe I could eat my weight in them! The view in the evening as the sun is setting on the other side of the lake is simply magnificient! We sat on the veranda stuffing ourselves with quail and drinking the local Caronas. They tried to protect their recipe but I think I have it figured out. Below is my version of what I think is their recipe.

Steps:
- For the marinade:
- In a glass bowl mix the olive oil, garlic and ancho chile powder; add the quail, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight if possible.
- In a small saucepan, blend the honey, salt and cinnamon together and heat to boiling.
- Place 1 jalapeno in the cavity of each quail and fold legs over the other half. Coat the quail with the honey/cinnamon mixture and wrap with one bacon strip. Pin together with a toothpick that has been soaked in water (so it will not burn when roasted).
- Roast over a mesquite charcoal fire for about 4 minutes, flip the quail and cook on the other side for about 2 minutes or until cooked to medium-rare.
