Quails for dinner 🤩❤️



If you want to bring to the table some main courses that are easy to prepare, light and tasty, try this recipe with quails that I have selected for you! The white meat of quails is tender and has a pleasant and delicate flavor, although more intense than chicken. And so it is perfect for preparing tasty and light main courses ready in a few minutes. Here's how to prepare quails, but appetizing! Baked quails are a very tasty game-based second course: tips and recipe for preparing them at home.

Baked quails are a tasty main course that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. But before we start talking about it, we have to make a clarification on the main ingredient: there are in fact two types of quails, those for breeding and those for game. It goes without saying that those for breeding can be purchased in the butcher's shop, perhaps by booking them because there is not always availability. If, on the other hand, you have been given quails for game, check carefully that there is no residue left from the shots before cooking.

For the baked quails, I have chosen a side dish that is cooked at the same time, namely potatoes. Everything is seasoned in a very simple way, so with olive oil, salt and a few sprigs of rosemary, however if you have a mix of spices for roasts, homemade or of industrial origin, the dish is enriched even more, both on quails and potatoes. Alternatively, you can combine the quails with a little hot polenta.

Baked quails can also be prepared with a filling made from other meats, cheeses, and vegetables. Of course, it's not like making a stuffed chicken or turkey: the amount of meat in a quail is quite small but very tasty – so you can even overdo it with the stuffing if you're really hungry at the time.

Ingredients

Quails 4
Potatoes 4
Rosemary
Salt
Olive Oil

Preparation

Rinse the quails and check that there are no pellets left if they come from game. Let them dry. Place the quails in a baking dish brushed with oil. Peel the potatoes and cut them into coarse cubes. Add them to the gaps between quails in the pan. Brush everything with oil and add salt here and there and a little rosemary. Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C for about 50 minutes.

Note
You can add other side elements along with the potatoes in the baking dish, such as diced peppers. Another side dish that can go well with baked quails, but cooked separately, is polenta.
