Breast of Squab with Squab Liver Raviollinis, Fresh Asparagus and Morel Mushrooms
Cut up squabs. Reserve 2 whole breasts and all the livers. Bone and skin breasts; divide into halves and set aside. Roast bones and legs to make stock. In stock pot, combine 1-1/2 pounds of roasted squab bones and skin with 8 cups of cold water to cover. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer gently, about 30 minutes, skimming as needed. Add 1 medium onion; 1 carrot, cut into 1-inch pieces; 1 celery stalk, cut into 1-inch pieces; and 1 bouquet garni. Simmer, uncovered, for 2-1/2 hours, adding water as needed to cover. Strain. Cool and refrigerate. Remove the fat when ready to use. Clarify with 1 egg white and fresh herbs. Strain and set aside.
Flatten and roll out pasta on lightly floured board. On one half of sheet of pasta, portion 1/2 teaspoons of liver mousse filling about one inch apart. Dip finger in water and run it around the fillings. Fold over the unfilled half of pasta sheet, taking care to cover each mound so that no air is trapped. Press firmly together to seal. Using a zig zag cutter, cut into squares with filling in center. Check each piece to be sure it is well sealed. Set aside.
To serve: Cook raviollinis in boiling salted water; drain. Meanwhile sauté reserved breast halves in butter over high heat until done, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Serving Tips & Suggestions:
Arrange asparagus and morels in shallow soup bowl. Ladle on consommé. Spoon raviollinis over and arrange breasts on top. Serve hot.

Panned Mississippi Quail With Smashed Root Vegetables
Sweet Barbecue Sauce:
3/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced shallots
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 salt and pepper
Smashed Root Vegetables:
1/2 cup rough chopped carrots
1/2 cup rough chopped parsnips
1/2 cup rough chopped beets
1/2 cup rough chopped turnips
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon essence
1/2 cup mashed potatoes
1/4 cup cream
1 salt and pepper
4 whole quail
1/2 cup seasoned flour
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk
2/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 oil for pan-frying
4 long chives
2 tablespoon parmesan reggiano cheese
1 essence
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
For the sauce: Combine all the ingredients together in a small sauce pot
and mix well. Allow the sauce to heat on low for 20 minutes for the flavors
to marry.
For the smashed root vegetables: In a mixing bowl, lightly toss the
vegetables with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place on a
baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes or until tender. Swap Out. Remove
from the oven and place in a mixing bowl. With a potato masher, mash the
vegetables until fully smashed. Season with salt and pepper. The mixture
should be not too smooth, some lumps should be present. In a sauce pot,
combine the smashed vegetables, mashed potatoes, cream, and butter. Heat
the mixture thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. For the quail: Season
the quail breast and legs with the Creole spice. Dredge the breast in the
flour, shaking off any excess flour. Dip them individually into the egg
wash, allow the excess to drip off. Place the quail in the breadcrumbs,
completely coating each side. In a saute pan, heat the oil. When the pan is
smoking hot, place the quail breast, skin side down into the oil. Pan-fry
the quail until golden, about 4 minutes, flip and continue frying for 4
more minutes. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper-lined plate. In a
small saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When the pan is smoking
hot, sear the leg on each side, remove and add to the simmering barbecue
sauce.
To assemble: Spoon a generous amount of the sauce on the bottom of the
place. Mound the smashed vegetables in the center of the sauce. Place the
quail on top of the smashed vegetables. Garnish with the legs, long chives,
Parmesan Regganio Cheese, and Essence. Dirty the rim with any remaining
sauce.
