Ingredients
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon sambal
Juice of 2 limes
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 quail, rib cage removed
1 large English cucumber, sliced thinly into half-moons
2 heaping tablespoons julienned mint
1/2 cup crème fraiche
Juice of 1/2 lime
Grill spray
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Prepare a medium hot grill, cleaned and sprayed. In a bowl, combine garlic, sambal, lime juice and Dijon mustard and mix well; whisk in oil to emulsify. Season the quail and add to bowl. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. Grill quail until cooked through and skin crisp, about 10-12 minutes total. Meanwhile, toss cucumbers with mint, crème fraiche and lime juice and season. Serve quail on small pile of cucumber salad and drizzle any leftover crème fraiche.
