Aimer faire plaisir à ceux qu'on aime

Ingredients

• 4 small quails, deboned
• 100 g (4 oz) Blackburn cheese, grated
• 4 thin slices of prosciutto

Marinade

Ingredients

• 1 small onion, chopped
• Juice of 3 limes
• 30 ml (2 tbsp.) soy sauce
• 1/2 g (1/2 tsp.) garlic, chopped
• 45 ml (3 tbsp.) olive oil
• 3 g (1 tsp.) dried thyme
• 10 g (2 tsp.) allspice
• 5 g (1 tsp.) nutmeg
• 1 g (1/2 tsp.) cinnamon
• 3 g (1 tsp.) cayenne pepper
• 15 g (1 tbsp.) brown sugar

Preparation

Mix all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl and add the quails. Marinate for 24 hours.

Take the quails out of the bowl and remove excess marinade. Stuff the quails with the cheese then tuck the thighs inside the cavity to seal it properly. Cover with a triangle of prosciutto.

Place the quails in a baking dish with half of the previously strained liquid. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 15 to 17 minutes. Collect the cooking juices and use as a sauce for serving.
