Directions
- Make the marinade by mixing the garlic, ginger, five-spice, honey, soy sauce, oil and Madeira or port in a saucepan, then bring it to the boil.
- Remove from the heat and leave to cool. Once cold, pour over the quail and chill for 2 hours.
- Stir the quail at least once to make sure the meat is evenly coated.
- For the coleslaw, toss together the cabbage, carrot, onion and parsley.
- Mix in the mayonnaise and soy sauce.
- Season if needed, although soy sauce often provides enough salt.
- Heat a barbecue grill plate until hot.
- Place the quail on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning once, or until cooked to at least a medium degree.
- Brush marinade over the top during the cooking process.
- Remove, then rest the quail in a warm spot for a few minutes.
- Serve the quail with the coleslaw.
- Grate over some lemon zest and garnish with lemon wedges.
