Quail With Rosemary & Balsamic Vinegar Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
| 8 quail (about 4 oz. each) | ||
| Butter/Margarine | 1/4 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| 3/4 cup regular-strength beef broth | ||
| Balsamic vinegar | 1/2 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Rosemary leaves | 1 Tablespoon | |
Directions
Rinse quail and pat dry.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add birds and brown lightly on all sides, about 10 minutes.
Breast meat should be red and moist at the bone; to check, cut from just above wing joint to breastbone.
Lift birds into a serving dish; keep warm.
To pan, add broth, vinegar, and rosemary.
Over high heat, boil, uncovered, until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes.
Add remaining butter; stir constantly over medium heat until smoothly blended.
Pour sauce over birds and garnish with rosemary sprigs.
