PAN-FRIED QUAIL, COUNTRY MILK GRAVY, BUTTERMILK MASHED POTATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss the quail with the Worcestershire, Sherry, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil to 325 degrees in a large cast-iron skillet or deep saute pan over medium-high heat.

Add 2 green onions, garlic, and parsley and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. To serve, spoon the mashed potatoes into the center of 4 large plates, top with 2 quail and the pan gravy, and serve with asparagus. This recipe yields 4 servings.
