Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Quail

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub the quail with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Place the quail in a roasting pan.

  2. 2

    Roast the Quail

    Roast the quail in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.

  3. 3

    Cook the Wild Rice

    While the quail is roasting, rinse the wild rice and combine it with chicken broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes until tender.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once the quail and wild rice are cooked, plate the wild rice and place the roasted quail on top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
