    Grilled Quail and Red Smashed Potatoes with Cheddar, Aioli and Green Garlic

    Adapted by StarChefs.com
    Yield: 8 servings

    INGREDIENTS:

    Sautéed Quail:
    2 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 tablespoon Dijon
    1/2 cup olive oil
    1/2 tablespoon fresh ground cumin
    1/2 tablespoon fresh ground coriander
    1 tablespoon smoked sweet paprika
    4 quail, semi-deboned and cut in half
    Red Potatoes:
    1 pound red new potatoes
    To Assemble and Serve:
    1/2 cup fresh aioli
    1 bunch green garlic, sliced
    4 ounces shaved sharp cheddar

    METHOD:

    For the Sautéed Quail:
    Mix the garlic, Dijon, oil, cumin, coriander, and paprika in a bowl with the quail and marinate for 3 hours.

    Fold the quail wings behind the breasts and grill skin-side down until crisp. Flip over briefly to finish warming through, but leave the flesh medium-rare to medium.

    For the Red Potatoes:
    Blanch the new potatoes until tender, then cool.

    To Assemble and Serve:
    Heat the Red Potatoes on a grill, then add them to a pot with the aioli, green garlic, and cheddar. Smash the potatoes with the back of a spoon until everything is incorporated. Serve warm with the Sautéed Quail.
