BBQ marinated quail, chicken, duck and with preserved lemon and harissa

Ingredients
  • 2 whole Quails
  • 1 small whole Chicken
  • 1 small whole Duck poached
  • 1 Turkey breast
  • chermoula
  • 1 preserved lemon
  • 1 large clove Garlic
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 fresh Lemons
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground White pepper
  • Your favourite Harissa
Method
  • Preheat your bbq.
  • To make the preserved lemon salsa, remove the rind only from the preserved lemon with a sharp knife (leave all pith behind). Cut the rind into a very fine dice and place in a bowl. Finely chop the garlic and add it to the bowl. Add the juice of 1 fresh lemon, a good splash of olive oil, a tiny pinch of salt and a good grind of pepper. Mix and set aside.
  • To prepare the quails, remove the wing tips and neck, and butterfly them gently by splitting them down the backbone.
  • To prepare the chicken, remove the breast (keeping the breast plate in tact) and cut each into 2. Remove the legs and thighs and cut each piece into 2.
  • Prepare the duck in the same way.
  • Cut the turkey breast into 3 even slices.
  • Coat all pieces of poultry liberally in the chermoula.
  • Place the poultry skin side down on the char grill of your bbq and cook until just done and well coloured. Remove them to a warm place to rest.
  • Pile all the barbecued poultry onto a large platter, add a squeeze of lemon juice and a liberal serving of both preserved lemon and harissa.
