Wine-braised Quail With Sage

People in the church will drop major counseling bombs on [their pastors] men when they are simply trying to enjoy a hot dog with their family at the church picnic. Some people will always expect their pastor’s to be under them. You get a house, wow, we live in an apartment. I would like to make that kind of money. I don’t get to take Mondays off. Why do you get three weeks when I am only allowed two weeks of vacation. It’s the attitude that they are the shareholders of a pastor’s stock and everything the pastor benefits from must be inferior to their benefits because after all they are paying the pastor’s salary.

INSTRUCTIONS

This sophisticated dish is deceptively simple to prepare. Two Cornish
game hens may be substituted for the quail. Skin and halve them  before
cooking, and braise them for 35 to 40 minutes.  Tie quad legs together
and tuck the wing tips under the bird. Combine  flour, 1/2 tsp. salt
and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge the  quail in the flour
mixture. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet let  over medium-high
heat and brown the birds well on all sides, for 5 to  6 minutes. Pour
off any fat.  Add wine, tomatoes and sage, and boil for 1 to 2 minutes.
Reduce heat  to low, cover and cook, turning occasionally, until the
birds are  tender and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. Remove
the birds  to a warm platter.  Boil the sauce over medium-high heat
until it thickens and is slightly  reduced, about 10 minutes. Season to
taste with salt and pepper and  nap the quail with the sauce.  229
