Quail Roast


Other day when M and myself was looking the freezer section in the asian store here, couple of quails sitting inside was calling us. We grabbed it right away and came home. I knew the perfect recipe for quail.
Today afternoon seemed to me the right time to make it. We hiked today morning and Quail Roast seemed to be the perfect way to  replenish all the burned calories.

  1. I love quail and this looks perfect. I have a similar recipe with almonds in the marinade, so I can imagine how this masala tastes!
