Quails in the oven
2 servings
30 minutes
Quail in the oven is an exquisite delicacy that combines the tenderness of meat with the depth of spice aromas. This recipe is infused with an authorial approach where culinary traditions meet creativity. The marinade made from coconut milk, soy sauce, and ucho-suneli adds a piquant flavor with a hint of sweetness, while baking in foil preserves the quails' juiciness. Wine vinegar adds a subtle acidity that harmonizes with spicy garlic and mustard. The golden crust formed during final baking makes each serving appetizing and crispy. This dish is perfect for cozy family dinners or special celebrations, impressing with both its taste and elegant presentation.
