You may remember that I bought some quail eggs from Mill River Farm (located in Mount Airy, NC) at the Farmers Market at the Dixie Classic Fairgrounds. Read the earlier post HERE. According to GeniusCook, the nutritional value of quail eggs is 3-4 times higher than that of chicken eggs, quail eggs have no "bad" cholesterol, but are very high in good cholesterol. They also remove kidney & bladder stones! Help prevent and lessen cancer growth, help with diabetes, remove heavy levels of lead from the bloodstream, the list goes on and on!
What did I do with them besides ogle at their beauty and ask them to strike an oval pose for photos? I boiled them up, carefully peeled away their speckled delicate shells, and then wrapped them in PIG! Actually, I wrapped them in lean pastured pork sausage also from Mill River Farm, so you could say I kept the meal in the 'hood. When Mill River says the sausage is "hot", they don't mean maybe! So keep that in mind when you choose your degree of heat.
Mill River Farm website offers many recipes. This is their recipe for Scotch Quail Eggs, although I made mine gluten free by using GF breadcrumbs. In the past, I've also had success substituting crushed Rice Chex cereal or Corn Chex Cereal. This gives my mortar and pestle a workout.
Note: These go wonderfully with my Vegan Cheese Grits (click for recipe).
