- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- On a baking sheet arrange in separate piles, the sesame, peppercorns, coriander, cloves, juniper berries and cinnamon and toast till the sesame seeds are golden brown colored (about 25 min).
- In a mortar and pestle or possibly a hand coffee grinder, finely grind the toasted spices along with the bay leaf. Add in the coffee, salt and sugar and continue grinding until all is well pulverized.
- Lightly rub the spice mix over the skin of the quails. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hrs.
- In a saute/fry pan, heat the oil and cook the quail for about 5 min, browning on all sides. If necessary, do in two batches and keep quail hot while completing the cooking. Quail should be cooked medium-rare and still be juicy and pink.
- Serve two quail per person in a pool of the Vanilla Scented Butter Sauce. Garnish with thinly-sliced parsnips that have been quickly deep fried till crisp and sprigs of mint.
- This recipe yields 6 servings.
