If necessary, clean the quail of any remaining feathers, cut in half, remove the innards, wash the quail and then pat dry. Marinate for about 3 hours in ½ liter white wine with diced onions, halved chilli pepper, chopped rosemary, bay leaf, chopped garlic cloves and a dash of olive oil. Then remove the quail from the marinade and pat dry.
Heat olive oil in a large pan and fry the quail halves on the skin side for about 5 minutes, season with salt and pepper, then turn, fry for another 5 minutes and deglaze with ¼ liter of white wine. Reduce the heat and simmer for another 10 minutes.
In the meantime, strain the marinade through a sieve, add the stock to the pan and reduce a little. Add oregano and season with salt and pepper.
We serve the quail in the pan with a splash of lemon juice and add baguette to the brew.
