Quail with Star Anise in Coconut Milk

Ingredients

Quail Egg - 1 piece
Coconut Urbech - 1 piece
Desiccated coconut - 1 tablespoon
Coconut Milk - 1 can
Sweet Red Onion - 1 piece
Star anise - 2 pieces

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Marinate the quail in coconut milk (not to be confused with coconut water) with red onion and salt.

Step 2

Add 2-3 star anise. Excess star anise can make the dish bitter, so use it with caution. Leave the quail for a couple of hours.

Step 3

Place the marinated quail in a roasting bag, pour in 2-3 tablespoons of coconut milk, and put it in an oven preheated to 240°C (464°F). Bake for 45-50 minutes.

Step 4

15 minutes before the cooking time is up, open the oven and carefully cut the roasting bag. This is to ensure that the quail, which is almost ready, acquires a nice golden color. During this time, moisture will not evaporate, and the quail will remain juicy and tender.

Step 5

Sprinkle the finished dish with shredded coconut. You can garnish with exotic spices, vegetables, and herbs. The coconut will look interesting on the plate.
