Grilled Quail With Pomegranate Orange Bbq Sauce And Tabouli With Quinoa And Shredded Kale Food

GRILLED QUAIL, TUSCAN-STYLE

Steps:

• Start wood or charcoal fire or preheat gas grill or broiler.
• Cut along each side of the breastbone of each bird, then straight down through where thigh meets body to get 2 semi-boneless halves from each bird. (Don't worry if skin holding thigh and drumstick together separates.) Combine with all other ingredients in bowl or heavy plastic bag and stir or shake to coat. If time allows, marinate for an hour or so.
• Grill quail, turning as needed, until browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

GRILLED QUAIL AND QUINOA TABBOULEH

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Pat the quail dry with paper towels. Cut down along the skin on the back of the quail with kitchen shears. Place the quail on a baking sheet and use your palm to gently press down to flatten the bird. Repeat with the remaining quail.
• Whisk the juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 tablespoon olive oil, za'atar, sumac, 1 clove grated garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper together in a medium bowl. Brush onto the breast side of each quail and grill, breast side down, until dark grill marks appear, 5 to 6 minutes. While breast side is grilling, brush remaining marinade onto the back side of the quail. Flip the quail and continue grilling until the meat is slightly firm to touch (it will feel like cooked chicken) and the juices run clear when the thickest part of the breast is pierced or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 160 degrees F, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining juice of 1 1/2 lemons, remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, remaining 2 cloves grated garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper together in a large bowl. Fold in the quinoa, tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, mint and dill until well combined. Serve the quail alongside the tabbouleh.

GRILLED POMEGRANATE CHICKEN WITH MANGO BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken breasts in pomegranate vinaigrette dressing for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight!
• Grill the marinated chicken breast for about 20-30 minutes, or until cooked through. Cooking time will cary based on thickness of the chicken breast.
• While the chicken breast is on the grill, prepare the Mango BBQ Sauce. Add the BBQ Sauce to a small saucepan and whisk in 1/2 cup of water. Stir in the chopped red onion and diced mango. Bring to bubbling over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and let simmer until the chicken is done grilling. Stir every few minutes.
• Serve Grilled Pomegranate Chicken with Mango BBQ Sauce -- ideally outside on the deck on a beautiful evening. :).

• Rinse the quail and pat dry.
• Place in a shallow dish and pour the Italian dressing over the quail.
• Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours, turning occasionally.
• In a small saucepan, cook the wine over medium heat about 5 minutes or until it is reduced by half.
• Stir in the blackberry spread until smooth.
• Set aside 3/4 c for serving.
• Remove the quail and discard the marinade.

QUAIL WITH POMEGRANATE JUS

Steps:

• Combine shallots, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, 2 tablespoons pomegranate juice, 2 teaspoons tarragon, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add quail, tossing gently to coat, then marinate, covered and chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours.
• Remove quail from marinade, scraping off shallots and reserving marinade, then pat quail dry with paper towels and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Cook 4 quail, turning over once, until browned and just cooked through, about 5 minutes total. (Quail will be rare.) Transfer cooked quail to a serving dish and keep warm, loosely covered with foil. Cook remaining 4 quail in remaining 2 tablespoons butter in same manner, transferring to serving dish.
• Add reserved marinade to skillet and cook over moderately high heat, scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon, until shallots are just softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons pomegranate juice and season with salt, then spoon over quail. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and remaining teaspoon tarragon.
• To juice a pomegranate, cut in half crosswise, then use a manual or electric juicer. Alternatively, remove seeds from pomegranate and pulse seeds in a food processor until juicy, then transfer seeds to a sieve and drain, pressing on and then discarding solids.
