Ingredients
- 8-16 Quail backbones removed and flattened
- 3-4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 onion grated
- 1/2 cup yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dry mustard like Coleman’s
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- salt to taste
-
Make the sauce first. Heat the butter over medium heat, then add the onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 3 or 4 minutes.
-
Add everything else, stir well and simmer slowly for 20 minutes or more. You can buzz it in a blender for a smooth sauce.
-
To flatten the quail, use kitchen shears to remove the backbones of the birds by cutting along either side. Put the quail breast side up on a cutting board and press to flatten.
-
If you want to be fancy, carefully snip out the ribs and the curved saber bones near the wishbone. Salt the quail and toss them in the vegetable oil.
-
Get your grill hot and lay your quail breast side up. Grill over high heat with the grill lid down for 5 minutes. As it cooks, paint the breast side with the sauce. Turn the quail over and paint the cooked side with sauce.
-
Grill the breast side with the grill cover up for 2 minutes, then turn over again and paint with the sauce one more time. Cover the grill and cook another 2 to 4 minutes.
