Method
Prep the quail keeping the breast and leg as one piece. Cut the gem in half and char the face in a very hot pan. Add chicken stock, orange zest and herb stalks to pan, braise gently in the oven till slightly tender. Blanch broad beans in salted water, pop out of skins and set to one side. Sauté giroles, add broad beans at the last minute plus chopped herbs for the sauce. Take the liquor from the braised gems, emulsify with butter.
