QUAIL WITH CHESTNUTS AND RAISINS



Quail With Chestnuts and Raisins image

You may not associate the Loire Valley with game, but the hunt, especially for birds, is important in that region of France. I had that in mind when I decided on a seasonal preparation for quail, dressed up with chestnuts, raisins, a shot of gingery heat and a splash of port. It would pair well with cabernet franc from the region.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup port
12 quail, all but legs and wings deboned
Salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large shallot, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
18 roasted chestnuts, halved (fresh, frozen or vacuum-packed)
1/2 cup well-seasoned chicken stock
6 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Place raisins in a bowl, add port and set aside. Season quail with salt and pepper. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt butter in a large heavy skillet on medium-high. Add as many quail as will fit comfortably, breast side down. Sauté until breast is well browned. Transfer quail, breast side up, to a baking dish that can go to the table and continue sautéing until all the quail are browned. Quail can be slightly overlapping in the dish.
  • Reduce heat in pan to medium-low, add shallot and ginger and sauté until soft. Add raisins with port and the chestnuts. Add stock. Let simmer about a minute. Check seasonings and pour over quail in the baking dish. Place thyme on top. Bake uncovered about 20 minutes for medium; timing can be adjusted according to taste.

ROAST QUAIL WITH GRAPES AND CHESTNUTS



Roast Quail with Grapes and Chestnuts image

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 whole quail* (about 6 ounces each)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup peanut oil or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 fresh thyme sprigs
1/2 cup Cognac
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth (16 fluid ounces)
1/2 cup crème fraîche
6 ounces seedless green grapes (about 18)
18 roasted chestnuts** (from a 7 1/4-ounce jar or peeled roasted fresh)

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Remove and discard any feathers from quail, then remove necks if necessary with poultry shears and discard. Rinse quail inside and out and pat dry, then sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil and butter in a deep 12-inch heavy ovenproof skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then brown quail on all sides, 12 to 15 minutes total. Transfer to a large plate.
  • Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet, then sauté carrot, onion, and thyme over moderately high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 2 minutes.
  • Return quail (with any juices on plate) to skillet with vegetables and roast, breast sides up, in oven until just cooked through (cut into an inner thigh; meat will still be slightly pink), about 10 minutes. Transfer quail to a platter and loosely cover with foil.
  • Add Cognac to vegetables in skillet and boil 1 minute, then add broth and boil until liquid is reduced by half, about 6 minutes. Stir in crème fraîche and simmer until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Pour sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on and discarding solids, then pour back into skillet. Add grapes and chestnuts and simmer, stirring occasionally, until heated through and grapes turn a shade lighter, about 3 minutes. Transfer grapes and chestnuts to platter with quail, then boil sauce until thick enough to lightly coat back of spoon, about 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste, then spoon some sauce over quail and serve remainder on the side.
