Quail Wellington

3. Add the morel juice, truffle juice, white wine and brandy and simmer until all the juice has evaporated.
4. Add the QimiQ Sauce Base and bring to the boil. Allow to chill.
5. Season the quail, sauté quickly on each side and allow to chill.
6. Quickly sauté the shiitake caps, season with the salt and pepper and set aside.
7. Quickly sauté the foie gras slices, season with the salt and pepper and set aside.
8. Fill the shiitake caps with the duxelle, top with the foie gras and fill into the quail.
9. Wrap the quail in the puff pastry, egg wash and chill.
10. Preheat the oven to 200° C. Bake the Quail Wellington until golden brown (core temperature 57° C).
11. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
