Risotto with wild mushrooms and quail breasts

Hi, here it is a new  recipe suitable for Christmastime! It’s a first course in the traditional Italian menu.

Risotto with wild mushrooms and quail breasts.

Mushroom risotto with quail breasts

It’s very tasty and easy to do if you are able to make risotto. Look the recipe for risotto with mushrooms in this page of ours. Add saffron too, to colour and flavour it!

Meanwhile you are making risotto cook quail breasts.

Saute two quail breasts on both sides in a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a pan. Add half of glass of Marsala, let it evaporate and then add  an orange juice, a tablespoon of dried chives and a tablespoon of dried parsley. Season to taste with salt and keep on cooking, half-covered, till the cooking juice is almost retired and the meat is tender (about 15 minutes).

Prepare the serving dish. Pour in risotto and arrange the two quail breasts on the top. In the photo the  dish is for one people.

Your dish is ready!
