Sweetness from marsala and sherry wines is a perfect ingredient for quail meat and for mushrooms. Therefore is is a good idea to combine them together. In this articles I will explain how to make marsala quails with mushrooms. Quail is a small bird, but with the proper side dish can be enough for one portion.

  1. Ingredient for 4 portions:
    • Quails, 4 birds. One bird can make one reasonable portion.
    • Mushrooms, 300-400 gm.

    • Marsala wine, ½ cup.
    • Flour, 5-6 tbsp
    • Clarified butter, 3-4 tbsp.

  • Use only good wines, recommended in this recipe, otherwise results will be bad.
