Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.
- Sprinkle the quail inside and out with salt and pepper, and arrange them in a baking dish. Wrap the breast of each quail with half a slice of bacon, folding it under and neatly overlapping the ends. The quail should be placed, breast-side-up, in the baking dish.
- Blend the oil, vinegar and thyme, and spoon an equal amount of the sauce over each quail. Place in the oven, and bake 13 to 15 minutes. Put under the broiler briefly to crisp the bacon.
- To prepare the oyster sauce, heat the butter in a heavy skillet or casserole, and add the prosciutto and leeks. Cook about 1 minute, stirring, and add the cream and pimento. Cook over relatively high heat about 10 minutes or until reduced to about 1 cup.
- Put the oysters in a small skillet, and cook over moderately high heat, shaking the skillet briefly until the oysters just start to bubble. Take care not to overcook the oysters, or they will toughen. Drain the oysters, and add them to the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the quail and serve immediately.

EASY GRILLED QUAIL
If you are looking for something different to grill this summer, how about quail? You can keep things simple and pair them with everyday sides or dress them up for company by serving them with couscous and shredded Brussels sprouts. Wild rice pairs nicely with them as well.

Steps:
- Wipe the quails dry with paper towels. Cut them down the back and spread them out flat.
- Combine two cloves garlic, the rosemary, one-quarter cup olive oil and the lemon juice in a large bowl. Marinate the three quails at room temperature for two hours, turning from time to time.
- Meanwhile soak the porcini in the hot water for 30 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and rinse under cold running water. Squeeze dry and set aside. Strain the soaking liquid through coffee filter paper, cheesecloth or paper towels and set aside.
- Heat the remaining olive oil and the butter in a large skillet. Add the remaining garlic, the porcini and the prosciutto and saute until the garlic just begins to turn golden. Add the mushroom soaking liquid and cook, stirring from time to time, until the soaking liquid has almost entirely evaporated (about 15 minutes). Meanwhile, preheat grill or coals.
- Add the fresh mushrooms to the skillet and cook another five to seven minutes. Season to taste with lemon juice, salt and pepper and keep warm.
- Grill the quail, cooking the skin side first and turning once or twice for 10 minutes, or until the birds are cooked. Baste with their marinade as you cook and be careful not to overcook them or the meat will be dry.
- Serve the quail on individual serving plates and spoon the mushroom sauce around them.

THE AFGHAN GRILL
Number Of Ingredients 0
Steps:
- Of all the countries I wanted to visit, but couldn't because of political turmoil, Afghanistan was my biggest disappointment. This landlocked, mountainous nation of 15 million lies at one of the great crossroads of the barbecue trail and at the confluence of four great civilizations: the Middle East, Central Asia, Eastern Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. Afghan grilling weaves culinary influences from all four regions into a cuisine that's uniquely its own.This truth was brought home to me on my first meal at an Afghanistani restaurant, the Khyber Pass, in New York's East Village. The moment I stepped into the storefront dining room, with its soft lights, kilim carpets, Afghan tapestries, and hand-hammered copperware, I felt I was a million miles away from Manhattan. The house specialties-grilled lamb chops flavored with onion water, fire-charred game hens, and chicken marinated in yogurt and spices and cooked to fall-off-the-bone-tenderness-were exotic, but immediately accessible. I was won over by the way the side dishes of piquant chatni (chutneys-tangy table sauces, which in Aftganistan are made from vinegar, herbs-most often cilantro-and ground nuts, not the fruits we are more familiar with) and bracingly tart torshi (vegetable pickles) counterpointed the richness of the grilled meats."Afghanistan lies at the crossroads of Asia," explained the restaurant's manager, Mohamed Noor. Noor reminded me that Alexander the Great conquered the region in the fourth century b.c. on his way from Greece to India. In the thirteenth century a.d., Genghis Khan subdued the area while on his march to Turkey and Eastern Europe. He was followed in the sixteenth century by King Babur, founder of India's Mogul Empire. (Indeed, King Babur is buried outside the capital city of Kabul.) Each of the conquerors and their armies left a mark on Afghan food.Thus, olive oil, cinnamon, dill, fenugreek, and kalonji (nigella seeds, also known as black cumin or black onion seeds) are as popular in Afghanistan as they are in Middle and Near Eastern cooking. From India, Afghans acquired a taste for garam masala (a spice blend whose ingredients include cumin, cinnamon, cloves, and black cardamom seeds) and chatnis. As throughout northern India and Central Asia, meats are marinated before grilling in tenderizing pastes of yogurt and spices. The Persian Empire provided the torshis and lavash (flat bread) that are indispensable companions to Afghan barbecue.The focal point of the Afghan kitchen is the grill. Afghanis use simple seasonings to make some of the best grilled food in the world. Marinades run to yogurt (or yogurt cheese) flavored with onion, garlic, chiles, hot red pepper flakes, cumin, and sometimes olive oil. It's not uncommon for meats to be marinated for 48 hours, which makes them extraordinarily juicy and tender.The accompaniments are simple: thin chewy Afghan bread, nutty rice pilaf, tangy pickles, and coriander sauce.There are recipes throughout the book for Afghan quail, chicken, and lamb dishes, plus such traditional accompaniments as doh (yogurt drink) and chatni. There is also a short list of Afghan restaurants where you can sample some of this extraordinary grilling in exotic settings, but without leaving the United States.

Steps:
- 1. Set a yogurt strainer, or regular strainer lined with a double layer of dampened cheesecloth, over a bowl. Add the yogurt to the strainer and let drain, in the refrigerator, for 2 to 3 hours.2. Remove the drained yogurt from the refrigerator and discard the liquid. Transfer the yogurt (it will be semifirm but not dry), to a large nonreactive bowl or baking dish. Add the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, the coriander, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and black pepper and whisk to blend. Taste for seasoning, adding salt and cayenne as necessary the mixture should be highly seasoned. Set aside while you prepare the quail.3. Remove and discard the fat just inside the body cavities. Rinse the quail inside and out, under cold running water, then drain and blot dry with paper towels. Spatchcock the quail following the directions.4. Add the quail to the bowl with the marinade, turning to coat thoroughly. Cover and let marinate, in the refrigerator, 12 to 24 hours, turning the birds occasionally.5. Preheat the grill to high.6. When ready to grill, oil the grate. Remove the quail from the marinade and place them, skin side down, on the hot grate. Cook until nicely browned and the juices run clear when the tip of a skewer or sharp knife is inserted in the thickest part of a thigh, 4 to 6 minutes per side (8 to 12 minutes in all).7. Transfer the quail to serving plates or a platter, and serve immediately.Serves 4
