Method

Grilling Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Quail

    Clean the quail and soak it in buttermilk for at least an hour. Remove and season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Grill the Venison

    Season the venison chop with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a grill pan and cook the venison for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

  3. 3

    Fry the Quail

    In a separate pan, heat oil and fry the quail until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Cognac Demi-Glace Instructions

  1. 4

    Sauté Mushrooms and Shallots

    In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté shallots until translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until softened.

  2. 5

    Deglaze with Cognac

    Pour in cognac and allow it to reduce by half, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan.

  3. 6

    Add Stock and Simmer

    Add beef stock and thyme, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer until thickened, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 8

    Bake the Bread Pudding

    Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, until set.
