Spinach Salad
1 smoked quail per person
1 handful spinach per person
sliced mushrooms, julienned green apples, and red onions for garnish
Hot Honey Mustard and Bacon Dressing
1 cup Creole mustard or coarse-grained tarragon mustard
½ cup Hudson's champagne herb vinegar
½ cup honey
1 cup bacon, diced into bits
Cook the bacon in a single layer, drain and crumble. Mix the bacon, vinegar, ½ cup honey and mustard together in a saucepan and bring to a light simmer.
Honey Cilantro Ginger Glaze
1-1/2 cups honey
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup fresh ginger, minced
¼ cup garlic, minced
¼ cup shallots, minced
2 bunches cilantro, leaves only
Salt and pepper to taste, 1 teaspoon minimum
¼ lb. sweet butter
Combine all glaze ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat; simmer for 4 minutes. Hold on warm, at 180º or less.
Smoke quail. This can be done earlier in the day. Re-warm quail in a 250º oven for 5 minutes after dipping it in the glaze.
To assemble salad, toss hot dressing onto cold spinach, ¼ cup per salad.
Garnish with sliced mushrooms, julienned apples, and red onions.
Dip quail in glaze one more time. Rest quail, glazed and hot, atop the wilted spinach salad.
