How to make it
- Spatchcock the quail ... cut down the backbone only and lay the bird 'spread eagled'
- Prepare the marinade by combining all ingredients
- Rub the quail with the marinade both inside and out
- Leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours (at least)
- Bring to room temperature before cooking
- Preheat oven to 180°C
- Place par boiled potato segments into a tray with some oil and place in oven. Don't season at all, it will detract from the flavour of the bird
- Heat a frying pan to high heat
- Place butter and oil mix in the frying pan and heat until smokey
- Place each quail in the pan individually, skin side up, and brown for 1 minute on each side
- Transfer the first quail to a baking tray and continue with the others, treating each one individually and transferring to the baking tray when browned
- Place the baking tray in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes
- Once cooking is finished it is important to rest the quail for 10-15 minutes
- Serve with your choice of steamed greens and roasted potato segments.
- The final flavour boost is to squeeze a quarter of lemon on each bird at the table. Add extra lemon wedges to the plate for those who like extra zing
- Enjoy!
