rbduck Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 My wife and I have been invited to a Cajun style BBQ with a Cajun(yeah I know this is Canada) theme. They are actually importing crayfish and alligator. There will be pulled pork also, not to sure of the rest as it is potluck with about 20 people. Anyways, I was thinking of quail. I am a pretty good cook but have no Cajun experience. Would any of you folks have a good recipe for the quail. We have a large BBQ but no smoker unless I use woodchips wrapped in tinfoil type of thing. This party is next weekend. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Orion_70 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 There are a few options here, it just depends on how you are going to cook them. If just grilling, season with tony chachere's, wrap in bacon and grill. If you can cook them inside, my favorite way is smothered quail. I don't know anyone, myself included, from La. that doesn't like smothered quail. Here's a recipe from NOLA Picayune. I use more green onions, omit the nutmeg, and add more wine. Serve it over a bed of rice or some dirty rice and you're in Heaven. Just make sure you get the roux right, you want it the color of a paper sack when you add the liquids.
