Ingredients

3 quail, spatchcocked

Marinade

1/2 tspn salt

1/2 tspn cracked black pepper

1 tspn honey or maple syrup

1 tspn tamari (for gluten free or soy sauce if not)

1/2 tspn Asian fish sauce

2 tspn Canola (or vegetable) oil

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 green shallot (scallion, spring onion) chopped finely

1 stalk lemongrass, finely chopped

For frying

Equal parts butter and oil, for 3 quail approx 1 tblspn each

Potato segments

Par boil peeled potatoes and cut into bite size pieces

Directions

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!
