Roast Quail with Fennel

I must confess that when I was in Syria I ordered and ate roast sparrows. They were delicious. At home, I do a similar thing with the equally small quail. The birds are often sold frozen, four to a package.

If they don’t show up butterflied, cut along the length of the backbone with kitchen shears, open them out, and flatten them.

Teff would go well with this dish.
