Ingredients
- 450g quail fillets or chicken breast fillets, sliced
- 4 tbsp each of fresh coriander and parsley leaves
- 2 tsp The Spice People’s Calamari Salt ‘n’ Pepper
- 2 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 tsp The Spice People’s Chillies Crushed or to taste
- 2 onions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tomato, finely chopped
Directions
Rub Calamari salt n pepper mix into quail or chicken pieces.
- Heat oil in a pan, and add onion, tomatoes, garlic, chilli, and meat. Keep the heat on high stirring frequently to brown meat and caramelise other ingredients. This only takes a few minutes so make sure to have the pasta cooked at the same time.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta separately according to the instructions on the packet. I used penne for this recipe but any pasta will do.
- The sauce should have just enough juice to coat the pasta. Deglazing the pan after you have removed the quail sauce with a few tablespoons of water and drizzling it over the pasta provides enough flavour to soak into the pasta.
- Serve hot with fresh coriander leaves.
