The Quails
The Polenta
Preparation
- Step 1
To prepare the quails, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place 1 sprig of rosemary in the cavity of each quail, cutting the sprigs as needed to fit. Wrap 2 pieces of pancetta around each quail and tie securely with string. Set aside.
- Step 2
To prepare the polenta, combine the water and salt in a medium-size saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Whisking constantly, add the cornmeal to the pan very gradually, pouring it in a light, steady stream. Change from a whisk to a wooden spoon and reduce the heat so that the mixture is at a slow simmer. Stir constantly until the polenta thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Step 3
Meanwhile, when the polenta is almost done, place the quails in the oven and roast for 10 minutes. Remove the string. Divide the polenta among 4 plates and top each serving with 2 of the quails. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and serve immediately.
