INSTRUCTIONS

Combine the orange and lemon juice, bay leaves, crushed lemongrass, star
anise, molasses, soy, chili, garlic and ginger and marinate the quail for
several hours, or overnight, covered, in the refrigerator. To make the
dressing for the salad, combine the mustard, vinegar and honey and whisk in
the olive oil to create an emulsion. Remove the quail from the marinade and
grill over an outdoor barbecue for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or cook
over medium heat in a cast-iron skillet for 10 to 12 minutes, turning
frequently to avoid burning. Remove from the heat and let the quail rest
for several minutes before serving. Toss the salad greens with the dressing
and divide among 4 plates. Top each salad with 2 quail for a main course
and garnish each with several slices of papaya and mango and sprinkle with
toasted pumpkin seeds. This recipe yields 4 main course or 8 appetizer
servings.
