What goes with Quail?
Quail is a small bird with a compact breast and proportionally distinct legs. Portion size does not eliminate the difference between these parts: cooking the crown and legs separately can give more control than keeping the whole bird over one heat source.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Quail?
Keep accompaniments compact. A small fruit condiment, a crisp green vegetable and a restrained amount of cured meat can each serve a different purpose; avoid letting a large stuffing or garnish turn the quail into a background ingredient.
