My grandma is the one who gave me this delicious recipe....it's so yummy!! In my opinion, she's the best cook in the whole world!




Ingredients needed:

6 Quails (سمان).
Flour and salt for washing the quails.
1 1/2 Onions.
1/2 cup Grits (فريك).
Salt & Pepper.
Oil, butter or margarine.
2 pieces of gum and 3 cardamom (مستكة و حبهان).


Directions:

  1. Soak the grits for minimum 3 hours, then wash it & strain it.
  2. Wash Quails from inside and outside with flour and salt.
  3. Mince 1/2 onion and fry it until it's yellow then add the grits, add salt and pepper and stir for 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. Stuff the quails with the grits and close both sides using toothpicks.
  5. Boil water and add 1 onion, cardamom & gum. Add quails and boil until fully cooked.
  6. Remove from water and season quails with salt and pepper and put in a heated oven (425 degree) for 20 min.

You can make rice and "molokheya" next to the quails.
