Preparation

Step 1

Boil water in a pan, peel the sweet potatoes and cut into pieces and put them in the pan.

Step 2

Meanwhile, chop all the dried fruit and seeds, put them in the blender with the rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and the muscat.

Step 3

Fill the quails with the mixture and then close them with kitchen string.
In a pot, put some olive oil and fry the quails.

Step 4

Once they are well browned, add the stock and cover. Leave for 10 minutes over low heat, turning occasionally.

Step 5

Meanwhile, the sweet potatoes should now be cooked. You can mix them with olive oil and a little stock, to be added gradually, (until you get the desired consistency). Set aside.

Step 6

Add the honey and cinnamon in a pot and then wait for it to make a syrupy juice (about 10 minutes).
Garnish the plates: put a layer of puree and add the quail and then drizzle with the cooking sauce . Decorate with slivered almonds and coriander.
