Quail Sinatra Style




Source of Recipe


from The Sopranos Family Cookbook


List of Ingredients




• 8 fresh or thawed frozen quail
• 8 ounces Italian-style fennel pork sausages
• 2 tablespoons very finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley


Recipe



Preheat the oven to 375°. Rinse the quail and pat them dry. Tuck the wing tips under the backs. Remove the sausage meat from the casing. Mix the sausage meat with the sun-dried tomatoes. Put some meat mixture inside each quail.

With kitchen twine, tie the legs together. Put the quail in a covered flameproof casserole large enough to hold them in a single layer. Add the wine, rosemary, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and bake for 1 hour.

Uncover and cook, basting two or three times, for 30 to 40 minutes longer, or until the quail is very tender and browned. Transfer the quail to a serving platter. Cover and keep warm.

Place the casserole on top of the stove and bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until thickened and reduced to a glaze. Spoon the sauce over the quail. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Note: Cornish Game Hens can be substituted for quail.

Serves 4-6.
