Grilled Quail With Pomegranate Orange Bbq Sauce And Tabouli With Quinoa And Shredded Kale Recipes

GRILLED QUAIL WITH LINGONBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grill to medium heat.
• In a saucepan, over medium heat, sweat the shallots in butter until tender, but not browned. Refrigerate the cooked shallots until cold. Cut the duck breast into 1/2-inch pieces. In a food processor, place the duck pieces along with the egg, salt, pepper, cold shallot, and brandy. Puree until mixture is a very fine paste. Add the cream and dried cranberries and pulse the mixture just until it is well incorporated.
• Spoon or pipe the duck mixture into the cavities of each quail. Shape each quail into its natural shape and secure with a band of aluminum foil or string. Using a pastry brush, brush each quail with a small amount of melted butter and season very lightly with salt and pepper.
• Grill the quail lightly on both sides and place them in a buttered baking pan. Finish the quail in the oven for about 15 minutes until cooked.
• Serving suggestions: place the quail on your favorite rice pilaf, couscous or better yet some freshly made spaetzle. Top with a spoonful of lingonberries stirred in sugar (this product is available in specialty food stores from Sweden packed in small jars.)

Add water/saffron mixture and mix all ingredients for 10 minutes at low speed until dough is silky and elastic. If too dry, add water. If to wet add flour. Once pasta dough has been properly worked, rest for 1 hour in refrigerator. To Roll: Slice off one 2-inch slice of the dough and flatten with your hand and dust with flour, if needed. With the pasta machine open to widest setting, roll pasta through. Decrease the size by 1 1/2 increments each time and continue this process until pasta is very thin. Cut into 8-inch lengths, 1-inch wide. Hold in refrigerator until ready to cook.

GRILLED QUAIL, TUSCAN-STYLE

Steps:

• Start wood or charcoal fire or preheat gas grill or broiler.
• Cut along each side of the breastbone of each bird, then straight down through where thigh meets body to get 2 semi-boneless halves from each bird. (Don't worry if skin holding thigh and drumstick together separates.) Combine with all other ingredients in bowl or heavy plastic bag and stir or shake to coat. If time allows, marinate for an hour or so.
• Grill quail, turning as needed, until browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

GRILLED QUAIL AND QUINOA TABBOULEH

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Pat the quail dry with paper towels. Cut down along the skin on the back of the quail with kitchen shears. Place the quail on a baking sheet and use your palm to gently press down to flatten the bird. Repeat with the remaining quail.
• Whisk the juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 tablespoon olive oil, za'atar, sumac, 1 clove grated garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper together in a medium bowl. Brush onto the breast side of each quail and grill, breast side down, until dark grill marks appear, 5 to 6 minutes. While breast side is grilling, brush remaining marinade onto the back side of the quail. Flip the quail and continue grilling until the meat is slightly firm to touch (it will feel like cooked chicken) and the juices run clear when the thickest part of the breast is pierced or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 160 degrees F, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining juice of 1 1/2 lemons, remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, remaining 2 cloves grated garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper together in a large bowl. Fold in the quinoa, tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, mint and dill until well combined. Serve the quail alongside the tabbouleh.
