Recipe: Pan-seared quail with sautéed mushrooms and spring onion sauce

Serves: 6

Ingredients:

Ginger and Spring Onion Sauce:


60ml grapeseed oil
12 spring onion stalks, approximately 8-10cm in length, finely sliced
15g fresh ginger, finely grated
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
Pinch of salt
Mushrooms and Snow Peas:
40ml grapeseed oil
170g shimeji mushrooms
100g shiitake mushrooms, sliced into 0.5cm strips
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 long red chilli, deseeded and finely diced
8 snow peas, trimmed, sliced in half at an angle
40ml light soy sauce
Pan Roasted Quail:
4 quails
Salt and black pepper, to season
50g butter
30ml grapeseed oil

Cooking instructions:

1. For the spring onion and ginger sauce, place a medium frypan over medium high heat. Once hot, add
the oil and the spring onion, stir quickly and turn off the heat. Add ginger and garlic.
2. Stir the mixture thoroughly and then add salt to taste. Leave in the pan, until ready to serve, to continue
cooking with residual heat until cooled.
3. For the mushrooms and snow peas, place large frypan over high heat. Once hot, add the oil,
mushrooms, garlic chilli, and snow peas all at once. Toss to coat in oil.
4. Add the soy sauce to the pan. Turn the heat off the pan and toss to coat liberally, allowing the
mushrooms to caramelise quickly. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl and set aside, keeping warm, until
ready to serve.
5. For the pan roasted quail, remove legs, wings, tail end of the backbone, wishbone and neck from the
quails to preserve breasts and skin intact on the crowns. Season the breasts and cavities with salt and
pepper to taste.
6. Place a large frypan on high heat and add oil. Once hot, add quail crowns to the pan, skin side down.
Cook until the skin is deep golden brown and caramelised, about 1 – 1 1/2 minutes. Rotate the quails to
cook each side of the breasts, cooking each side for approximately 30 seconds.
7. Turn off the heat on the pan. Add the butter to the pan and melt. Baste the cavities and the breasts of
the quail liberally with the melted butter for a further 30 seconds. Remove the quails from the pan and
rest, covered loosely, for 5 minutes.

breasts per plate. Finish with a few spoonfuls of spring onion and ginger sauce.
