The Quail
Ingredients
4 whole quail (we recommend Game Farm)
2 bunches bok choy or similar Asian style green, washed well and trimmed
2 tablespoons sesame oil
Method
Pre heat the oven to 200°C
Place the stuffing mixture evenly into the cavity of each bird and close off using a toothpick
Season the birds well with salt and pepper and place them into a large baking tray and into the pre heated oven for 20-25 minutes or until just cooked
Remove the baking tray from the oven and allow the birds to rest for 10 minutes
Meanwhile, place a wok over a medium high heat and add the sesame oil. Add the bok choy and stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until just wilted
To serve, divide the stir fried greens onto 4 plates and place a bird on top of each one. Pour over any juices left in the bottom of the baking tray. Serve immediately
