Birds love to my son. Chicken is undoubtedly one of their favorite foods, like partridges, and especially quail. I usually make baked with many spices because I love to use them in place of chicken Pastilla. It is more work but the taste is fine, and I always have to remember to do some more for it because she loves.

I thought having a chicken with chestnuts, but I have one with foie gras and brioche there saved to publish very prontito. Was it the who encouraged me to use quail in this recipe, and after seeing the result, I think that it was right of the.

Quail has a more delicate than chicken meat and are also serving, which makes serving until just as beautiful in the casserole. There is cut into pieces and we must not fight to see side is to the thigh or breast (my favorite part). Let me know what you think about you. I just can say that five minutes after these photos, no longer had the memory...
