GARNISH

Combine the butter, mustard, honey, garlic, savory and lemon juice and coat quail. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Marinate for 4 hours refrigerated.

Preheat the broiler to high heat. Remove quail from the marinade and place breast side down in a broiler pan. Broil the birds for 3-4 minutes. Turn over, paint with marinade mixture and broil 3 minutes more or until the quail are golden brown but still juicy. Remove and keep warm. Add wine, stock and remaining marinade to the broiler pan juices and reduce quickly to a light sauce consistency over high heat. Whisk constantly.

Arrange birds on top of wild rice pancakes on warm plates and surround with mushrooms and watercress sprigs. Drizzle reduced pan juices over and serve immediately.

Yield: 4 servings

To roast garlic: Cut off top quarter of garlic head and drizzle with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Wrap securely in foil and bake in a 325 degree oven for 30-40 minutes or until the garlic is very soft and creamy.
