PANCETTA WRAPPED QUAIL ON PANZANELLA
It’s pretty straightforward — just downright yumminess. This cute little bird is wrapped in thin slices of pancetta, first pan-fried and then pan-roasted to give it that perfect consistency inside and out. The meat is tender and juicy with a light crispy skin on the outside. Everything about this appetizer is delicate and exquisite. The flavors are tastefully sealed in. Even the panzanella, with its croutons, tomatoes, garlic chips, parsley and basil, is just so gracefully delicious that you want to savor every bite. And it’s all gone before you know it.
