Gimmee some Quail Recipes...
Another successful quail hunt today. After taking off work just a couple hours early. Half hour drive, 2 hour hunt. Man, I love Idaho...
So I'd like to try a new recipe or two with this batch. What's your favorite?

Do a search for buttermilk fried quail, I dont have a recipe but have eaten it many times, and so far it has been the best way I have ate them.

Buy a box or two of Near East Wild Rice. Make the rice according to instructions on the box but add an extra 1/4 cup of water. While the rice is cooking, pre-heat the oven to 350. After turning on the oven, take each quail breast and wrap it in a strip of thick cut bacon.
Take a glass casserole dish and spray with PAM or grease it with cooking oil. When the rice is done, mix in a can of mushrooms and pour into the greased casserole dish. Spread out the rice, place the bacon wrapped quail breasts on the rice then put it in the 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes or until bacon is cooked. I like steamed asparagus or fresh green beans as a side dish... Good eats!! A nice white sauce can be poured over each breast and rice just before it is served.. I used this recipe for the Chukars and Hun from the pictures I posted in the Southern Nevada Hunt thread in this forum... |

Man, I'm getting hungry again. I already cooked the last batch. I used a chicken marsala recipe, just substituting the quail for chicken. And it tasted like chicken. In fact, I'm about to eat some of those leftovers for lunch.
So, I guess I'm gonna have to go hunt some more to try these recipes!

I like to simmer them in a gravy made of equal parts of water and cream-of-mushroom soup.
Add some of your favorite mushrooms for an additional treat. Serve the quail alongside a baked potato or bed of rice smothered in the gravy that the quail were cooked in. Lay the mushrooms on top. Copy or vary it to your tastes. Daryl |

Saute some minced shallots or onion, and a crushed garlic clove in butter (mushrooms also if you like). At same time cook some brown/wild rice mix. Add the breasts to the saute, add a little white wine and a little water (keep enough liquid) cover and simmer on low for about 15 minutes. Rice should be done. Take breasts out and set aside. Add about 1/2 cup of sour cream, stir under medium heat till it thickens some, add the breasts back and keep warm. Serve over the rice.
Asparagus sauteed in a little butter or olive oil, a little sesame seed oil, some soy sauce, and some sesame seeds is really nice. Ok, it may be a fair amount of work, but the work is worth it! This recipe would cost $60.00 in a restaurant. |

We wrap grouse in bacon and baste them in apple cider. I think that recipe might work for quail too.

I hope you didn't breast them, sinful. Pick 'em and flour and fry them. Make some gravy out of the frying drippings and pour it on white rice. You can pour the gravy over the birds too, if that's your thing, but i like my fried foods crispy. Make some biscuits. Yummy. If you did breast them you can do the same thing, just not as good.

I like them fried with gravy as described. I also like them wrapped in bacon, but we cook them slowly on the grill. Both ways are great!!!

How do you clean 'em quickly and leave the legs on? I'm not sure I have the patience to modify my 3-birds-per-minute breasting technique. Picken' & guttin' takes too long.
