Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
In a heavy 4-liter pot, heat olive oil (about 80 ml) over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and half a teaspoon of salt, and sauté for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add sliced carrot, minced garlic, bay leaf, 10 black peppercorns, and 3 sprigs of thyme to the onion, and sauté for another 5 minutes.
Step 3
Pour the wine into the pot with the vegetables and herbs, bring to a boil, and cook until the liquid is reduced by half (about 5 minutes).
Step 4
Add the wine vinegar and water, bring to a boil again, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Cut the quail into quarters. In a bowl, mix the flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Dredge the quail pieces in this mixture.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium heat and fry the quail (about 6 minutes per batch).
Step 7
Place the fried quail pieces into the pot with the vegetables and wine, cover with a lid, and cook for 15 minutes.
