Quail Marinated in Vya
My good friend Andy Quady produces Vya, a special vermouth infused with botanical herbs. Vya gives the quail a unique, heady herbal flavor. If you can’t find Vya in a store near you, we recommend a fragrant vermouth as an alternative.

Ingredients:
12 fresh quail, cleaned, washed and quartered
1 cup Vya Dry Vermouth, or an aromatic dry substitute

Preparation:
Place the quail close together in a glass or ceramic container and cover with the vermouth. Marinate the quail for two hours, maximum. Light the barbeque and add a few aromatic herb stems or fruit wood cuttings. Grill quail for three minutes on each side, until browned and just cooked. Serve immediately.
Serves 12
