Roasted Quail
1-2 per person.
Per 2 quail:
3 tbsp shreaded Cheese (I perfer Havarti or apple smoked gouda, hubby likes with a creamy blue cheese, both work equally well)
Finely minced apple about 1/4th inch cubes, 1/2 tsp
Almonds, slivered, 1/2 tsp
In a bowl mix your cheese, nuts, & apple stuffing. stuff into the cavity of cleaned quail.
Wrap each quail in a thin wrapping of salt pork (processing quail often rips the skin off, so the salt pork adds moistness and fat you loose without the skin.
Put the quail into a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes (to crisp up the salt pork, then drop the temp to 325 and finish another 10-15 mins, untill the thermomoter says 160.
Pull from heat, let rest say 5 mins while tossing the salad.
