Ingredients:

Serving

6 whole jumbo quail (6 to 8 oz each)
1 small garlic clove
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp paprika ( preferably sweet hungarian)
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/8 tsp cayenne , or to taste
freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp corn or canola oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
moroccan-spiced vegetables
bulgur pilaf or couscous

Directions:

With poultry shears or a sharp knife cut off necks, feet, and first 2 wing joints of each quail and discard. Cut out and discard backbones and halve each quail lengthwise through breast.
Make sauce: Mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt. In a small heavy skillet heat garlic paste and paprika in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat and stir in lime juice and cayenne.
Make quail: Pat quail dry and season with pepper and salt. Divide oil and butter between two 12-inch heavy skillets and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Add quail and sauté, skin sides down, until skin is golden, about 2 minutes. Turn quail over and sauté 2 minutes more. Turn quail skin sides down and sauté 1 minute more, or until skin is golden brown but meat is barely pink for medium.
Serve quail with Moroccan vegetables and bulgur pilaf or couscous. Drizzle paprika sauce over and around vegetables and quail.
