QUAIL WITH POMEGRANATE JUS
Good things do come in small packages. This quail is tender and juicy, and the marinade gives it a spicy sweetness. Best of all, you won't believe how easy it is-marinate, then it's less than 20 minutes between you and an elegant, delicious meal that's sure to impress.

Steps:
- Combine shallots, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, 2 tablespoons pomegranate juice, 2 teaspoons tarragon, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add quail, tossing gently to coat, then marinate, covered and chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours.
- Remove quail from marinade, scraping off shallots and reserving marinade, then pat quail dry with paper towels and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Cook 4 quail, turning over once, until browned and just cooked through, about 5 minutes total. (Quail will be rare.) Transfer cooked quail to a serving dish and keep warm, loosely covered with foil. Cook remaining 4 quail in remaining 2 tablespoons butter in same manner, transferring to serving dish.
- Add reserved marinade to skillet and cook over moderately high heat, scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon, until shallots are just softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons pomegranate juice and season with salt, then spoon over quail. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and remaining teaspoon tarragon.
- To juice a pomegranate, cut in half crosswise, then use a manual or electric juicer. Alternatively, remove seeds from pomegranate and pulse seeds in a food processor until juicy, then transfer seeds to a sieve and drain, pressing on and then discarding solids.
ROASTED POMEGRANATE QUAIL
The sweet, sour, fruity notes of pomegranate molasses combined with orange juice, lemon zest and spices, all complement the quail beautifully in this tasty dish. It not only tastes delicious, it looks impressive too, and is actually very easy to make. It is pictured here with my Cypriot Salad which is a great accompaniment to the Roasted Pomegranate Quail. This is a wonderful dish for entertaining your family and friends. I just love these easy recipes that look like you've been in the kitchen all day! I've also included some helpful tips on how to cook quail.

Steps:
- Place all the marinade ingredients into a bowl or jug and mix to combine.
- Pat dry the quail with paper towels to remove any moisture. Make sure the quail are completely defrosted with no icy bits inside the cavity.Cut off the neck piece if it is still attached. Keep it though as it can be roasted along with the quail in the oven dish to flavour the juices.If you are cooking the Quail straight away: Put the quail into a heavy based oven dish that is just large enough to fit them snugly (see photos). If there is too much space around the birds the juices and marinade that gather in the base of the dish during the cooking time will burn.Pour half the marinade over the quail and using clean or gloved hands, massage the marinade into the quail. Set the quail aside in the dish for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200°C.If you are cooking the Quail later in the day: Marinate the quail as above but instead of leaving on the bench for 30 minutes, cover the quail and place in the refrigerator. Remove the quail from the fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking and preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Put the quail into the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 230°C. Baste the Quail with the remaining marinade using a brush. Place back into the oven making sure you have rotated the dish so the quail cooks evenly. Cook for a further 10 minutes - now depending on the size of your quail, it could be ready earlier if your quail is smaller, so check it at the 17-18 minute mark for smaller birds. Larger quail can take 20-25 minutes, depending on how you like your quail cooked. It is recommended that they be cooked to a pale pink - up to you.During this final cooking time, keep a close eye on the quail and rotate the dish 1 or 2 more times and baste with the juices at the same time. This will give you a great colour on the skin. If you are finding that the skin is colouring up too quickly, drape a piece of tin foil over the top until its ready.
- When the quail is ready, remove from the oven and allow the quail to rest in the dish for 10 minutes, tented with tin foil. After resting, remove the quail and place on a serving dish. Pour all the juices into a jug and spoon off any oil. This jus is delicious served alongside the Quail. I drizzle it all over the Quail and Cypriot Grain Salad (if making).Optional: sprinkle a few pomegranate seeds over the Quail.Note: Depending on the size of your quails, you might find you need 2 per person if they are smaller.

QUAGLIE ALLA MELAGRANA (QUAIL WITH POMEGRANATE)
This is an old Sicilian recipe. The pomegranate seeds add a tartness that is balanced by the sweetness of the orange zest and juice.

Steps:
- Stir together 1 1/2 cups pomegranate seeds, pomegranate juice, orange juice, Marsala, mint, and orange zest in a very large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the quail, and turn to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate at room temperature for 2 hours.
- Remove the quail from the marinade, and pat dry with paper towels. Season the quail inside and out with salt and pepper. Strain the marinade, reserving the liquid, and stuff the quail with the pomegranate seeds. Wrap each quail with 1 slice of pancetta.
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the quail 4 at a time in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes total. Place the quail into a large roasting pan in a single layer; set aside. Pour the chicken stock and reserved liquid marinade into the skillet, and bring to a boil. Cook and stir until the sauce has reduced to half its original volume. Pour the sauce over the quail.
- Bake the quail in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Pour the juices from the baking dish back into the skillet; cover the quail with aluminum foil, and keep warm. Taste the juices, and add additional orange juice and Marsala wine if desired. Stir in the orange segments, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook a few minutes until hot. Pour the sauce and orange segments over the quail, and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of pomegranate seeds to serve.
