Recipe: Grilled Quail with Green Papaya Salad

Ingredients

  1. 1/2 cup dry red wine
  2. 1/2 cup canola oil
  3. 1/4 cup Asian red chili sauce, such as sambal oelek
  4. 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  5. 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  6. 8 partially boned quail (about 4 pounds)
  7. 1 small red onion, finely diced
  8. 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  9. 2 teaspoons Asian fish sauce
  10. 1 1/2 pounds green papaya or underripe honeydew melon—peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
  11. Salt and freshly ground pepper
  1. In a shallow glass dish, mix the wine, canola oil, chili sauce, ginger and garlic. Add the quail and coat well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the onion, lime juice and fish sauce. Fold in the green papaya and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
  3. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Remove the quail from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Grill the quail over a hot fire or high heat until lightly charred and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer 2 quail to each plate, spoon the papaya salad alongside and serve.
