A Bird of a Different Feather

So it has been a few days since my last post and I thought I would share with you some of my foodie adventures. First I went to the meat market here called Granzins and saw they had some more unusual options in the poultry department.

At this point they may look like bacon wrapped play dough but I assure you these are the tastiest morsels of goodness. They are quail breasts wrapped in bacon stuffed with pickled jalapeno. For my first time cooking these I popped them into a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. The bacon was not crispy so I browned them in a frying pan. When all was said and done they came out like this:

Needless to say they look much more appetizing cooked. I know some of you may be wanting to gag at the thought of eating quail, but don’t knock it till you try it! Thank you to Granzins Meat Market in New Braunfels, TX for this excellent combination. The next time I pick these up I think I’m going to brown the bacon first and then put them on a plank and let the plank add some smoke flavor. For you hunters out there wanting to cook you dove breasts, I’ve been told you can cook them in the same way. Wrap a piece of jalapeno with the dove breast and some bacon and cook them any way you want! Let me know if you have heard of any other methods of cooking fowl! Until next time, stay curious!
