Last weekend the guys ( David, his Dad Dave, and brother in law Mike) went quail hunting.  They came back with 18 birds!  Last night we had a Quail dinner where each family made a different recipe to try. David chose the recipe for his portion which was a garlic butter quail with rosemary cooked in our Sous Vide oven, torched, and then drizzled with honey.  Darlene ( David's mom) made buttermilk fried quail, and Sarah ( David's sister) made bacon wrapped quail with pepper jack cheese.  Darlene also made a creamy potato dish and I made green beans.  Mmmm everything was so tasty!

Here is Davids garlic butter Rosemary quail- cooking in Sous vide oven.  This is a water oven that cooks at the exact temperature for the selection of meat.  You put meat into vacuum sealed package and put into water oven.  It makes everything really tender.  Our chef friend told us about the Sous Vide.  He said they use it in most restaurants.  

Quail out of the sous vide and David is basting with more butter:
