Nutrición y Cocina

This dish that we share with you today reminds me of my childhood in the village, where we used to enjoy game meat (partridges, quails, hares, etc.) as a family, with quails in hunter's sauce being the star dish. Although not long ago I had the pleasure of recalling those times, thanks to my grandmother's great cooking skills, I finally decided to prepare it at home. The meat of quail is a very good source of high-quality proteins (it contains up to 23g of protein per 100g of quail), as well as B vitamins and some minerals. Considered a lean meat, it hardly contributes fat and cholesterol (between 1.5 and 2g of fat per 100g of quail), making this quail in hunter's sauce dish an ideal alternative for a low-calorie or low-fat diet (it provides 110 kcal per 100g).

Once cleaned, tie the quails, season with salt and pepper, and brown in a skillet until marked. Remove from heat and set aside. Chop the garlic and onion and sauté in oil. Also chop the bell pepper and carrot and add to the pot. Cook for 10 minutes over medium heat, adding the tomato halfway through the process. Once all the vegetables are cooked, add the wine and water, along with the whole peppercorns, clove, oregano, and chocolate. Halve the grapes and remove the seeds. Add the grapes and quails to the pot. Close the pressure cooker and cook for 4-5 minutes from the time the pressure rises. Chop the pancetta into strips and brown it in a skillet. When you open the pot, remove the quails and pass the sauce through a food mill. Serve a quail with the hunter's sauce on top, and a bit of pancetta as a side.
