Recipe by: Food and Wine - Dec 93 1. Wash the quail thouroughly
inside and out, then place them in a large colander to drain for at
least
20 minutes.
2. Pat the quail dry. Stuff the cavity of each bird with 1 slice of
pancetta and 1 sage leaf.
3. Put the butter and oil in a large heavy skillet on high heat.
When the fat is hot, add all the quail in a single layer and cook
until browned on one side. Graduall turn them and continue cooking
until they are evenly browned all over. Sprinkle the quail with salt
and pepper, then add the white wine and turn the birds once.
4. Let the wine bubble for about 1 minute, then lower the heat to
moderate and partially cover the pan. Cook the quail until the meat
feels very tender when poked with a fork and comes away from the
bone, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check from time to time that there is
sufficient juices in the pan to keep the birds from sticking; if not
add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water. When the quail are done, transfer
them to a warmed serving platter.
5. Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet. Boil over high heat,
scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any
cooking residues, until the water boils away and only a few drops of
dark pan juices for each bird remain. Pour the juices over the quail
and serve with polenta or mashed potatoes.
