G'day fellow Steemies, its a very cloudy start to the weekend here in Sydney, so I thought why not write another blog post while bub watches Mickey Mouse Club House (Mickey Mouse, what a hoot), and I have my morning coffee!
As I play around more with Steemit, I noticed there is an "introduce yourself" tag, so thought why not do it on my third blog post. Funnily enough, I found out about Steemit by listening to Gregory Mannarino on Youtube (
If you already follow me, thanks! For those who are working their way around the introduce yourself section, I have a side passion for food, and hearing about Steemit gave me the idea to blog what I like to cook and eat, but also follow fellow Steemies who share the same passion where I can get great creative ideas from for the kitchen! Its a win-win, giddy up!
One thing I love is game meat, especially quail and venison. This really easy quail recipe is tasty, sweet, and sticky. I love it, so I hope you enjoy it too :-)
MARINADE:
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
1 tablespoon caramelised balsamic vinegar
Olive oil (I like to stick with my heritage, so I only use Spanish Olive Oil)
Lemon
Handful of fresh Parsley
1 Garlic clove
Salt
Pepper
METHOD:
- Butterfly the quail and lightly season with salt and pepper, and finely chop the parsley and garlic.
- Place the pomegranate molasses, caramelised balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, parsley, quick squeeze of a quarter lemon, salt and pepper into a bowl. Place quail in bowl and work through the mixture. Place this in the fridge for 2 hours (even 30 minutes if u are in a rush).
- After marinade time, place the quail in a hot pan, or over a hot plate on the BBQ.
I typically like this on a bed of potato mash (as illustrated), and like to pour the remaining marinade into the pan as you near completion of cooking. This gives a nice sticky sauce to serve, and goes well with the mash.
As always, I try to keep it simple, but nice tasting! I hope you like the recipe, and give it a go!
