# Quail legs cooked in “vino cotto” wine

**Ingredients for 4:**



8 quail legs



half a glass of “vino cotto” Italian wine from the Marche or Abruzzo region



one garlic clove



one rosemary sprig



extra virgin olive oil



salt and pepper




**Method:**



Brown the garlic clove in the oil and remove it when all its aroma has been released into the oil.



Add the quail legs and brown at high heat.. Add a lid and cook the quail legs to a golden brown on one side, then turn them and cook them on the other side.



Add the “vino cotto” wine and let it reduce, then reduce the heat. Mix in the rosemary, season with salt and pepper and add a ladle of water or hot broth. Cook for about 20 minutes until the juices have thickened.



Serve the quail legs piping hot with some creamy polenta.
