Petit Farcis Quail Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Quail

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean and season the quail with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Stuffing

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic and shallots until translucent. Add the preserved chanterelle mushrooms and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the focaccia crumbs to create a stuffing.

3. 3

   Stuff the Quail

   Stuff each quail with the prepared stuffing and secure with kitchen twine if necessary.

4. 4

   Bake the Quail

   Place the stuffed quail in a baking dish and drizzle with brown butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the quail is cooked through and golden brown.

5. 5

   Prepare the Collard Greens

   While the quail is baking, rinse and chop the collard greens. In a separate pot, sauté them in olive oil with a pinch of salt and black pepper until tender.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once the quail is done, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Plate the quail alongside the sautéed collard greens and drizzle with any remaining brown butter from the baking dish.
