The book gives no quantities; the amounts below are ours.
Method
5 soļi- Heat the oven to 220 °C. Rinse the birds and pat them dry.
- If using woodcock, draw them (see Notes), keeping the livers and hearts. Quail are usually sold cleaned.
- Brush the birds all over with melted butter and season with salt. Lay the bread in a roasting tin and set the birds on top, so the juices drip onto it.
- Roast, basting with butter right away and again halfway through: woodcock for 18–22 minutes, quail for 15–18 minutes, until the thickest part of the thigh reaches 75 °C. Take them out as soon as they get there so they stay juicy.
- If you kept the livers and hearts, chop them finely, fry them in a little butter for 2 minutes and spread them on the toast. Serve each bird on its toast.
Notes
What the book says vs. what we added
the book has the woodcock plucked and washed but not drawn, roasted on the spit or in a pan, basted with butter at once, with slices of white bread in the pan for the juices to drip onto, taking care that the birds stay juicy. Jack snipe, great snipe and other small wild birds are roasted the same way, for less time if they are small. Drawing the birds, the salt, the oven and the times are ours.
Undrawn woodcock
roasting woodcock and snipe "with the trail" (undrawn) and eating the trail on toast is still the classic way in Britain and France, and the birds are usually served pink. Gut contents and pink game meat both carry a risk of food poisoning, so we draw the birds and cook them to 75 °C. If you keep the trail, remove the gizzard first and cook the bird through.
Which birds you can get
woodcock and common snipe are game birds in season in some countries (UK: woodcock from 1 October in England and Wales, 1 September in Scotland, to 31 January) and are sold by game dealers there; elsewhere they are protected. The great snipe is protected throughout the EU, and the jack snipe is protected in many countries, including the UK. Farmed quail (one woodcock ≈ two quail) are the practical substitute, and squab or partridge also work.
Game safety
check for lead shot; it is common in small wild birds.
