One tray roast...

We thought we'd give Rachel Khoo's roast a go - the trouble was finding quail - I think Gus and Kirby went to 6 different butchers around town until they found some poussin, grown locally at Gawler, at the Central Market!

My first job was to get some bread rolls happening...

Next, prep the veggies...

~

Stuff the birds with a mix of pork sausage, lemon skin and parley, salt and pepps...

~

Rub the birds with grated lemon rind, S&P then pour over a marinade of lemon juice, honey and a stubby of Crown Lager...

~

Prep the greens...

~

One hour in the oven covered with foil, breast side down, followed by 30 minutes uncovered, breast side up and basted with the marinade.  When done, the pan juices are placed in a pan on the stove and cream and seeded mustard are added and the sauce reduced.  Serve over the poultry... 

Et Voila!

Four dear little chickies, roasted to perfection!

Bri thought it was finger-lickin' good!

We had Maggies icecreams for dessert, watching Walk The Line...I fell asleep as usual!
