My husband quail-hunts every season, and this recipe has become our favorite way to serve the birds. The bacon keeps the meat from drying out, and the jalapeno lends a little zip, shares Diana Johnston of Kingston, Oklahoma, I sometimes serve these cute bundles as a main dish. Ingredients:
2 large jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded |
12 boneless quail breasts (about 1 pound) |
12 bacon strips |
1 bottle (16 ounces) italian salad dressing |
Directions:
1. Cut each jalapeno half into three long strips. Place a strip widthwise in the center of each quail breast; roll up from a short side. Wrap each with a bacon strip and secure with toothpicks.
2. Place in a large resealable plastic bag. Add salad dressing; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
3. Drain and discard marinade. Grill appetizers, covered, over indirect medium heat for 16-20 minutes or until quail juices run clear and bacon is crisp, turning occasionally. Yield: 1 dozen.
