Chilli Garlic Quail Recipe


Preparation time: 15 minutes + marinating
Total cooking time: 15-20 minutes
Recipe serves 4-6

Ingredients

6 quails
1 small red chilli, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves and stems
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons soft brown sugar
2 teaspoons Red curry paste
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
2 teaspoons chilli sauce
2 teaspoons oil

Method

1. Using poultry shears or kitchen scissors, cut each quail down either side of the backbone and then open out flat. Cut each one in half through the breastbone.

2. Using a mortar and pestle or blender, blend the chilli, coriander leaves and stems, garlic, brown sugar, paste, ginger, soy sauce, chilli sauce and oil, until smooth.

3. Brush the mixture all over the quails. Place them in a container, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Grill the quails until browned and cooked through, or bake them in a hot over at 210°C (415°F/Gas 6-7) for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Serve with rice and lime wedges and garnish with fresh chillies or herbs, if you like.
