Grilled Quail with White Balsamic Glaze




 

This dish features tender, smoky quail with a sweet and tangy white balsamic glaze.

Ingredients:

For the Quail:

  • 4 whole quail, butterflied (spatchcocked)
  • 2 tbsp garlic & roasted chili olive oil (or basil olive oil for a milder flavor)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp lemon zest

For the White Balsamic Glaze:

  • ½ cup pear or peach white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (or a splash of olive oil for dairy-free)

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Quail: Rub the quail with garlic & roasted chili olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, thyme, and lemon zest. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Make the White Balsamic Glaze:
    • In a small saucepan, combine white balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and garlic.
    • Simmer over medium heat until it reduces and thickens (about 5 minutes).
    • Remove from heat and whisk in butter or olive oil.
  3. Grill the Quail:
    • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
    • Grill quail skin-side down for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until golden and cooked through.
    • Brush with the balsamic glaze in the last minute of cooking.
  4. Serve: Drizzle extra balsamic glaze over the quail before serving.
