Grilled Quail n Wild Onions





One of those simple meals. :)
I enjoy wild onion season and I like to use them when ever possible while they're here. Usually cook them with venison but opted for a few grilled quail this time.

I seasoned the quail with salt and pepper.



Browned them in a bit of butter over the fire to give them color and for the pan drippings.  Then let the quail finish cooking over the fire....



Gathered a few wild onions....





sautéed the wild onions in the pan drippings until they were tender...





Added flour to thicken, pinches of thyme and marjoram. Beef stock, bay leaf and wine...





Served with a wild rice blend...




Not a fancy meal but I like it. :)



Spring has finally arrived! In fact it kind of flew by. The temps have already hit 100F but mainly are staying in the 80s and 90s.  The cows are calving and the barn cats have kittens.
Lots of activity going on around here right now. I'm behind in posting but plan on taking some time to catch up.
Hope everyone is enjoying spring and keeping safe from the storms!
