ROASTED POMEGRANATE QUAIL
The sweet, sour, fruity notes of pomegranate molasses combined with orange juice, lemon zest and spices, all complement the quail beautifully in this tasty dish. It not only tastes delicious, it looks impressive too, and is actually very easy to make. It is pictured here with my Cypriot Salad which is a great accompaniment to the Roasted Pomegranate Quail. This is a wonderful dish for entertaining your family and friends. I just love these easy recipes that look like you've been in the kitchen all day! I've also included some helpful tips on how to cook quail.

Steps:
- Place all the marinade ingredients into a bowl or jug and mix to combine.
- Pat dry the quail with paper towels to remove any moisture. Make sure the quail are completely defrosted with no icy bits inside the cavity.Cut off the neck piece if it is still attached. Keep it though as it can be roasted along with the quail in the oven dish to flavour the juices.If you are cooking the Quail straight away: Put the quail into a heavy based oven dish that is just large enough to fit them snugly (see photos). If there is too much space around the birds the juices and marinade that gather in the base of the dish during the cooking time will burn.Pour half the marinade over the quail and using clean or gloved hands, massage the marinade into the quail. Set the quail aside in the dish for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200°C.If you are cooking the Quail later in the day: Marinate the quail as above but instead of leaving on the bench for 30 minutes, cover the quail and place in the refrigerator. Remove the quail from the fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking and preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Put the quail into the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 230°C. Baste the Quail with the remaining marinade using a brush. Place back into the oven making sure you have rotated the dish so the quail cooks evenly. Cook for a further 10 minutes - now depending on the size of your quail, it could be ready earlier if your quail is smaller, so check it at the 17-18 minute mark for smaller birds. Larger quail can take 20-25 minutes, depending on how you like your quail cooked. It is recommended that they be cooked to a pale pink - up to you.During this final cooking time, keep a close eye on the quail and rotate the dish 1 or 2 more times and baste with the juices at the same time. This will give you a great colour on the skin. If you are finding that the skin is colouring up too quickly, drape a piece of tin foil over the top until its ready.
- When the quail is ready, remove from the oven and allow the quail to rest in the dish for 10 minutes, tented with tin foil. After resting, remove the quail and place on a serving dish. Pour all the juices into a jug and spoon off any oil. This jus is delicious served alongside the Quail. I drizzle it all over the Quail and Cypriot Grain Salad (if making).Optional: sprinkle a few pomegranate seeds over the Quail.Note: Depending on the size of your quails, you might find you need 2 per person if they are smaller.

ROASTED QUAIL WITH SAVORY APPLE AND CHEDDAR CROUSTADE
Steps:
- To prepare the croustade:
- Slice the apples into thin wedges. To a hot saute pan, add 2 tablespoons of the butter and immediately add the apples. Saute over high heat while tossing the apples, cooking until the apples begin to soften and brown on the edges, approximately 3 minutes. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the chopped herbs and season with salt and pepper; continue to cook for 30 seconds. Remove the apples from the heat and let them cool for 10 to 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Lay out the pie dough disks and evenly spread 2 tablespoons of the grated cheddar on each. Place approximately 3 to 4 tablespoons of the apple mixture in the center of each pie dough disk. To form the croustade work from the outside in, folding in 2-inch pleats and continue around until the folds meet each other. The croustade should have an accordion look with a hole in the center; it should look like a small volcano.
- Either set aside and keep refrigerated until ready to bake, or bake in a 450 degree F oven for 8 to 10 minutes until evenly golden brown. Keep warm until ready to use.
- To prepare the quail:
- Slice the fennel very thinly. Heat a saute pan over high heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter, and then add the fennel and saute for 3 to 4 minutes until the fennel starts to become tender and translucent. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Carefully open the breast cavity of each quail and fill the cavity with approximately 1 tablespoon of the sauteed fennel. Do not over-stuff the quail, as they will shrink when cooking.
- Place the quail in a bowl or shallow container. Add 1 1/2 cups of the red wine, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of chopped herbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Gently toss the quail to evenly disperse the herbs, salt and pepper. Marinate the quail in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 3 hours and up to 12 hours.
- In a separate bowl, combine the blueberries and the remaining 1/2 cup of wine and let sit for 1 to 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Remove the quail from the marinade and drain off the excess liquid, discarding the remaining marinade. To a large oven-safe saute pan over high heat, add enough vegetable oil to evenly coat the pan (about 2 tablespoons). Place the quail, breast-side down, in the pan and cook for 2 minutes or until evenly browned. Turn the quail over and cook for 1 minute on the other side, or until browned. Place the saute pan in the oven and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, or until fully cooked through.
- Remove the quail from the pan and immediately add the wine and blueberry mixture. Return the pan to the stovetop and cook over high heat for 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper and add a healthy pinch of the herb blend. Continue to cook for 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and remove from the heat. Whisk the sauce until the butter is incorporated.
- Place a warm croustade on each plate. Split the quail down the middle and arrange around the croustade. Drizzle the sauce on and around the quail and evenly distribute the blueberries. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Combine shallots, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, 2 tablespoons pomegranate juice, 2 teaspoons tarragon, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add quail, tossing gently to coat, then marinate, covered and chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours.
- Remove quail from marinade, scraping off shallots and reserving marinade, then pat quail dry with paper towels and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Cook 4 quail, turning over once, until browned and just cooked through, about 5 minutes total. (Quail will be rare.) Transfer cooked quail to a serving dish and keep warm, loosely covered with foil. Cook remaining 4 quail in remaining 2 tablespoons butter in same manner, transferring to serving dish.
- Add reserved marinade to skillet and cook over moderately high heat, scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon, until shallots are just softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons pomegranate juice and season with salt, then spoon over quail. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and remaining teaspoon tarragon.
- To juice a pomegranate, cut in half crosswise, then use a manual or electric juicer. Alternatively, remove seeds from pomegranate and pulse seeds in a food processor until juicy, then transfer seeds to a sieve and drain, pressing on and then discarding solids.

Steps:
- Cut along each side of 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 other ingredients except oil, herb and lime wedges and marinate for at least an hour, or overnight in a refrigerator, if you have time.
- Drain quail of marinade and strain and reserve marinade. Pat birds dry. If you have a skillet large enough to hold quail in one layer, put oil in it; if not, put 2 tablespoons of oil in each of two skillets. Turn heat to high and, when oil is hot, sauté quail, skin-side down, until nicely browned, about 4 minutes. Turn and brown other side for 2 or 3 minutes, or until quail are cooked through. Remove to a platter and keep warm.
- Lower heat and remove any excess fat from skillet (there may not be any). Add strained marinade, along with 1/4 cup water, and raise heat to high. Cook, stirring and scraping any browned bits from bottom of pan, until liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Spoon over quail and serve immediately, garnished, if you like, with herbs and lime.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the marinade ingredients in a shallow bowl and set aside. Season the quail inside and out with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan, then brown the quail well on all sides. Add the butter and baste the quail. Then pop into the oven for 10 mins. Leave the quail to rest for a few mins until just cool enough to handle.
- Using a large serrated knife, carefully halve each quail straight down the middle, then submerge in the marinade and leave to rest while you make the rest of the dish.
- For the potato salad, mix the crème fraîche, mascarpone, vinegar and spring onions with some salt and pepper. Set aside. Heat the oil in a frying pan and sizzle the potatoes for about 5-10 mins, tossing occasionally until golden.
- Tip the hot potatoes into a bowl and fold through the crème fraîche mixture to bind and dress them. Set aside.
- Snap the tough ends off the asparagus, peel the stalks, then cut each spear in half at an angle. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil.
- Cook the asparagus in the boiling water for 2 mins until tender but retaining a slight crunch. Drain well. Place in a small bowl and, while still steaming hot, spoon over and toss through a couple tbsp of the marinade. You are now ready to serve.
- Spoon half the potato salad into the centre of a large dinner plate. Lift the quail from the marinade and lay 2 halves, breasts facing inwards, on top of the potato salad. Scatter the leaves evenly around the edge of the plate. Tuck the asparagus spears in a circular fashion among the salad leaves with the tips pointing out. Coat the quail and drizzle the leaves with a little more of the marinade, then serve.

PAN-ROASTED QUAIL WITH PORT SAUCE
Steps:
- Using a wire whisk, combine the marinade ingredients in a stainless steel bowl. Add the quail and rub thoroughly with the marinade, inside and out. (Don't be afraid to use your hands.) Cover the bowl and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- The Port Sauce accompaniment may be made while the quail is marinating. Combine the bones, vegetables, and seasonings in a roasting pan and roast in a 375°F oven for 2 hours, turning occasionally, until everything is well browned.
- Transfer the bones and vegetables to a heavy-bottomed stockpot and cover with the water. Bring to a boil, add the beef and veal stock or beef broth, lower the heat to a simmer, and cook 1 1/2 hours. Strain this rich stock into another saucepan, add the cup of port, and simmer again to reduce liquid to 1 1/2 cups. At this point the sauce may be cooled and refrigerated for up to two days. Rewarm the sauce during the quail's preparation and add the final enrichment of port and butter just prior to serving. This will both enhance the final flavor and give the sauce a silken sheen.
- To cook the quail, preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a castiron or other heavy-bottomed, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Drain the quail of excess marinade and pan roast, uncovered, until mahogany in color (about 3 minutes on each side). Place the ovenproof skillet and quail in the oven for 9 minutes. Serve immediately with the port sauce.
