Quail Consommé

1. Clarification Mix:

   • Combine ground quail, egg whites, vegetables
   • Mix thoroughly to form "raft"
   • Keep mixture very cold

2. Cooking Process:

   • Add raft to cold stock, mix well
   • Heat slowly, stirring gently
   • Stop stirring when raft forms on surface

3. Slow Cooking:

   • Simmer very gently 1.5-2 hours
   • Don't disturb raft once formed
   • Raft will self-clarify the stock

4. Straining:

   • Strain through cheesecloth-lined sieve
   • Don't press raft (clouds consommé)
   • Season delicately with salt and pepper
