About Quail, breast, meat only, raw
Raw quail breast meat is lean and densely proteinous, with very little fat and no carbohydrates at all. The flavor is mild and slightly more gamey than chicken, sitting somewhere between domestic poultry and wild game. Because the breast is the leanest cut, it cooks quickly and can dry out if overdone. Searing in a hot pan with butter or wrapping in prosciutto before roasting helps maintain moisture. It is a specialty item in most American markets but common in French and Chinese cuisines, where the small portions suit individual plating and tasting menus.
