As with the spatchcock I received from Game Farm I wanted to make something simple with the Qual breast fillets I recieved from them. When you are cooking with such good quality meat it seems a shame to drown out it’s flavour with overpowering sauces. I therefore decided on the quail breast fillets with pasta, chilli, fresh herbs and olive oil recipe, once again from Game Farm’s website.

This dish was probably my favourite of all three that I cooked with Game Farm meat. Firstly it was easy to cook with as it was just the breast fillets but also because the flavours worked amazingly.

Quail Breast Fillets with pasta, chilli, fresh herbs and olive oil

  • 400g Game Farm Quail Breast Fillets (cut in half lengthways)
  • 350g fine fettuccine or thin spaghetti (I actually just used some Orgran rice and corn pasta I had in the cupboard)
  • 80ml olive oil
  • 2 cloves of fresh garlic, roughly chopped
  • 2 small red chillies, washed, deseeded and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 bunch parsley
  • 1/2 bunch corriander
  • 60g grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. Cook pasta.
  2. In a fry pan heat up the olive oil on a low heat, add chilli and garlic and cook gently to infuse the flavour into the oil.
  3. Season Game Farm Quail Breast Fillets with salt and pepper and place into the oil, cook gently to your liking.
  4. Add pasta, cheese and herbs, toss, check seasoning and serve.
