40 minutes
Quail salad is a refined combination of flavors born in European gastronomy. This exquisite dish combines tender quail meat soaked in chicken broth and butter with bright notes of blanched apple and prunes. The layered structure of the salad harmoniously blends grated potatoes with nutmeg, sweet carrots, and spicy beets, giving it richness. Sun-dried tomatoes and frisée lettuce add freshness, while hazelnut oil completes the flavor composition with a nutty note. Decorated with beet chips and a basil sprig, this salad is not just a dish but a culinary masterpiece suitable for special occasions and gourmets who appreciate layered textures and deep flavors.
