Game birds are quite popular in Macedonia. They can be found in the lowlands and open fields, particularly in the regions of Pelegonjia and Dolnesko. If you can’t find quails in your local market, you can easily substitute Cornish hens or chicken thighs in this recipe; just adjust the cooking time accordingly. Serve this dish with Pilav Od Oriz (Rice Pilaf) or Pecheni Kompiri (Roasted Potatoes).
