TO PREPARE:1. In a large Dutch oven, pour canola oil to a depth of 2 inches. Heat oil over medium heat until a candy or deep-fry thermometer reads 350 degrees. 2. Season quail with salt and pepper. 3. In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs, and 2 tablespoons Chicken Seasoning. In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and remaining 4 tablespoons Chicken Seasoning. 4. Dip quail in egg wash, then flour mixture until well-coated, shaking off excess. 5. Fry in canola oil until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. |
Creamy stone ground grits:In a medium saucepan, combine milk and salt. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat, and slowly whisk in grits and jalapeño. Simmer until grits are tender, whisking occasionally, 30 to 45 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add butter and cream cheese. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if desired. |
Collard Greens:1. In a large Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Add cane syrup, and cook until syrup gets bubbly, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add ham hocks, red pepper, jalapeño, chicken stock, 3 quarts water, vinegar, salt, black pepper, and collard greens. 2. Bring mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until greens are tender, about 1 hour. |
Rood beer red eye1. In a 1-gallon stainless steel saucepan, cook andouille sausage over medium heat, until cooked through. Drain fat; add shallot and tomato. Cook until shallot is translucent, about 5 minutes. 2. Add coffee and root beer, and scrape all browned bits from bottom of saucepan. Reduce liquid by two-thirds, about 10 to 12 minutes. 3. Add salt and cane syrup; simmer until gravy is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 20 to 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, if desired. |
TO SERVE:Serve the fried quail with Creamy Stone-Ground Grits, Collard Greens, and Root Beer Red-Eye Gravy. | |
