Step by Step guide

Step 1

Place juniper berries, thyme, garlic, and a pinch of salt (as well as any aromatic spices of your choice) into a saucepan with vegetable oil and butter along with the quail. Set it over heat, bring the oil to a boil, and simmer the quail in the oil at a gentle boil for about an hour.

Step 2

In the meantime, boil the potatoes with a pinch of salt and a bit of turmeric, then mash them, adding cream.
