意式烤鵪鶉 (Roasted Quail – Sardinian Style)

 

鵪鶉,是農田的益鳥,其肉含蛋白質、維生素及高鐵質,而膽固醇很少,對腦神經不能缺少的營養物質,以中醫來說是補氣血及滋養五臟。然而鵪鶉在地中海飲食也有一定地位。

 

作者的母親在作者兒時久不久也會用來煲湯給家人飲用,但作者已經差不多20年也沒有再吃過,在香港好像越來越少見到;幸好最近在馬來西亞的超市見到,價錢亦很便宜,所以買來做了這個菜式,做法很簡單吧。

 

材料 (Ingredients) :

 

 

鵪鶉 (Quails) – 2隻 (2 pc)

洋蔥 (Onion) – 1個 (1 whole)

迷迭香 (rosemary) – 1-2條 (1-2 sprigs)

鼠尾草 (Sage) – 6-8片 (6-8 leaves)

肉豆蒄 (Nutmeg) – 少許 (little)

麵粉 (Flour) – 少許 (little)

鹽 (Salt) – 少許 (little)

黑胡椒粉 (black pepper) – 少許 (little)

雞湯 (chicken stock) – 100ml

白酒 (Dry white wine) – 20ml

橄欖油 (Olive oil) – 少許 (little)

 

 

做法 (Method) :

 

1. 鵪鶉清洗後,用廚房紙抹乾,用鹽及胡椒粉醃一下,用麵粉灑滿全身
Clean the quails under tape water, then dry it using kitchen towel, add some salt and black pepper, then dust the flour all over the quail

 

2. 準備平底鍋 (入到焗爐的),下油,燒熱後,放入鵪鶉,煎封全身
Prepare a sauce pan (better can put into oven), heat up some oil, add the quail and seal it all over

 

3. 預熱焗爐190-200度
Preheat your oven to 190-200 degree Celsius

 

4. 鵪鶉煎封後,先盛起,備用
After sealed, put the quail to other plate and set aside

 

5. 同一個鍋,加入洋蔥、鹽及黑胡椒粉炒至軟身
In the same pan, add onion, salt and black pepper, stir fry it until soften

 

6. 鵪鶉回鍋,加入雞湯、白酒、迷迭香及鼠尾草
Get back the quail to the pan, pour chicken stock, white wine, rosemary and sage

 

7. 放入焗爐烤20分鐘
Put the pan to the oven and roast for 20 minutes

 

8. 取出後,先把鵪鶉及洋蔥盛起
After roasted, take out the quails and onion

 

9. 平底鍋再次加熱,最後加入肉豆蒄伴勻就可以了。 如果喜歡比較濃的醬汁,可加少許麵粉,煮至喜歡的濃度也可以的。
Put the sauce back to the stove and reheat it, add some nutmeg and mix well.  If you like a thick sauce, you can add some flour on it and cook the thickness you like.

 

10. 把醬汁倒在鵪鶉上就完成。
Pour the sauce over quails and finished.

 

溫馨提示 : 這個菜式在意大利會伴麵包吃,但個人喜歡的話,可以加入其他蔬菜 (例如 : 紅蘿蔔、西芹、薯仔等等),那麼烤好鵪鶉後先盛起,再放入焗爐烤多10分鐘就可以了。

Tips : Normally, Italian will serve this with bread. But if you like, you can add other vegetables instead (i.e. carrots, celery or potato), if so, take the quails after 20 mins and roast the vegetables for another 10 minutes.
