Fried quail and pasta dish is the ideal comfort dish with a touch of elegance. Using only a few good quality ingredients you can create something really special.
Seasoning the quail with our Calamari Salt ‘n’ Pepper Mix it creates a beautiful crispy skin with a punch of flavour. The simplicity of the pasta alongside the richness of the quail meat makes this dish a winner!
This dish is also perfect with chicken, calamari or pork.
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.
