SPANISH QUAIL - IN 4-BIRD PACKS

In 4-bird packs, 6-5.3oz/ea Quail’s light colored meat is tender and succulent with a delicate, sweet and distinctly nutty flavor. The smallest of the game birds, a common single serving of quail is two whole birds. Easy to grill or roast whole, they can also be braised, sautéed, or stuffed. They look beautiful on the plate. Quail meat is enjoyed in a host of European, Middle Eastern, and even Southeast Asian cuisines, and pairs well with a variety of spices and flavors. These quail have been air chilled, a method preferred by chefs because it better preserves the bird’s flavor, lets the meat absorb marinades better, doesn’t add water weight, and is more environmentally friendly (produces less contaminated water) than water chilling, which is used for most poultry. STORAGE Store quail frozen until you need them, then defrost completely before cooking. RECIPES & TIPS Quail can be smoked, roasted, baked, sautéed, barbequed, braised, pan roasted, broiled or fried. Because they are so lean, they are frequently barded (wrapped in bacon) or brined prior to being cooked. They are also often stuffed.
