The marinade for this was inspired by a potato chip, of all things. Turns out, lime and pepper go just as well together as lemon and pepper do. This is a very simple, mild-flavoured marinade. You get a hint of lime, but mostly you can taste the quail flesh for what it is.
1 quail, wings and neck removed
2 limes, juiced with a single wedge retained
freshly ground black pepper
sea salt
Place the quail in a bowl. Grind some black pepper and sea salt all over it. Rub some into the cavity, too. Squeeze lime juice all over the bird. Turn it breast down, so the breasts--where most of the meat is--are soaking in the lime juice. Cover with cling film and keep in the fridge for a couple of hours.
Pre-heat the oven to 180*C. Place the quail on a lightly oiled baking tray and roast for 20 minutes.
