In this heady recipe we pair plump quail with a beautifully perfumed beet-and-apricot chutney. Tender and flavorful with a little more pronounced "poultry" flavor...and if someone says it tastes like chicken, you have my permission to tell them to go sit in the corner and no dessert!

Roast Quail in Beet, Apricot & Tomato Chutney


Ingredients
Serves 4

2 medium yellow beets
12 dried apricots
1/2 cup mint leaves, packed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups onion, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated
4 teaspoons garam masala
2 teaspoons crushed coriander seeds
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon saffron
4 whole star anise
1 hot green chile pepper, such as serrano, split and seeded
8 plum tomatoes, blanched and peeled, if desired, seeded and chopped
2 juice of oranges, freshly squeezed
sea salt or kosher salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus additional
2 red apples, such as Rome, peeled, cored and quartered
8 Whole Quails
Pepper
1 tablespoon black mustard seeds


Directions

Put a rack in the lower third of the oven and Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Wash the beets and wrap in aluminum foil. Place in a baking pan and roast until they are easily pierced with a paring knife, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove the beets from the oven. When they are cool enough to handle, peel and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.

Meanwhile, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the apricots and mint leaves, remove the pan from the heat, and let cool to room temperature. Puree mixture in blender or food processor.

Lower the oven temperature to 300 degrees F. 
In a large roasting pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the onions, ginger root, garam masala, coriander seeds, turmeric, saffron, star anise, and chile pepper and sweat until the onions are lightly colored, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, toss, and cook 4 minutes more. Pour the orange juice and apricot purée into the pan, and stir to combine. Add the diced beets, bring to a simmer, and season to taste with salt. Bake for 60 minutes. 

While the sauce is cooking, in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the apples and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. When the apples are cool enough to handle, stuff each quail with an apple piece, and run a skewer through both legs, just below the knee, fitting two quails to a skewer. Alternatively, you can skip the skewers; if a piece of apple pops out of a quail cavity, simply pop it back in.

In a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat warm the vegetable oil. Season the quail with salt and pepper and press the mustard seeds evenly all over each quail. Add 4 quails to the pan and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 7 to 8 minutes. Repeat with the remaining 4 quails, adding more oil to the pan if needed.

Put the quails, skin-side down, over the tomato-beet chutney, pressing them into the mixture. Return the pan to the oven and braise, uncovered, for 60 minutes. Serve over creamy polenta or own their own, asparagus and a chilled green salad.
