Roast Quail With Savoy Cabbage And Kasha Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Heat the shortening in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
• Season the quail with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Place the flour in a shallow dish; roll the quail in the flour.
• Working in batches, brown the quail on all sides in the preheated shortening. Place the browned quail in a large roasting pan or casserole dish; pour the water over the quail and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), taken in the thickest part of the thigh. Spoon the sour cream over the quails, allow the sour cream to melt before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Whisk the olive oil, the zest and juice of the lemon and some seasoning together. Tip the cabbag onto an oiled baking tray. Spoon over the dressing and roast for 45 mins, turning halfway though until the cabbage is golden and lightly charred and the stems are tender when pierced with a knife. Transfer to a platter, then serve.

Steps:

• Place quails in a dish and sprinkle garlic, chopped carrot, celery, onion, thyme and 1/4 cup of the oil over all. Let stand an hour or longer.
• Cut outside of zucchini into thin slices (do not use center part), and then into julienne strips. There should be about 3 cups. Cut carrots into slices, then into julienne strips. There should be about 1 1/2 cups.
• Cut cabbage in half. Trim away and discard core. Cut the halves into slices 1/2 inch thick. There should be about 12 cups.
• Cut bacon on the bias into thin strips.
• Put bacon in a large, heavy skillet and cook, stirring, until rendered of fat and starting to brown. Add zucchini and carrots and stir briefly. Add cabbage and caraway seeds. Sprinkle with salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Cook, stirring, about 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• In another skillet large enough to hold the quails, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil until almost smoking. Remove quails from marinade and discard marinade. Place quails in skillet skin side down and cook until well browned on one side, about 40 seconds. Turn and cook about a minute on second side. When all quails are browned pour fat from skillet and place quails in the skillet in oven. Bake about 1 minute or until medium rare.
• Drain quails on absorbent towels.
• Spoon equal portions of the cabbage mixture onto 6 dinner plates. Arrange each portion in a ring. Spoon an equal portion of kasha into center of each ring and arrange 2 quails, skin side up, on top of kasha.
