Indulge in the savory flavors of sauteed quail salad, a delightful dish that combines tender quail meat with fresh greens and zesty dressings.
Ingredients:
- 2 egg yolks*
- 1 cup white wine
- 2 bunches cilantro, blanched
- 4 to 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 rice wine vinegar
- 4 scallions, minced
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- Salt and pepper
- 1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped thyme
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup white wine
- Salt and pepper
- 4 quails
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 head romaine lettuce, cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 handfuls spring mix
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 onion, julienned
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves
- 4 to 5 scallions, sliced, for garnish
Instructions:
- To prepare the dressing, place all ingredients except for the oil in a blender. Blend until thoroughly mixed. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of extra-virgin olive oil while blending on low speed. Refrigerate the dressing for later use.
- Mix all the ingredients for the quail marinade, excluding the oil and butter. Coat the quail with the marinade and let it sit in the fridge for a minimum of 3 hours. Take the quail out of the marinade and cook in a pan with olive oil and butter until they reach a golden dark oak color, about 2 to 4 minutes per side.
- In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, spring mix, tomato, onion, and cilantro. Toss the salad with the prepared dressing. Serve the salad on 4 separate plates. Slice the quail in half and arrange it on the salad. Sprinkle chives or scallions on top before serving.
