  • In a large pot, combine 2 cups (500 ml) water and 2 cups (500 ml) milk and set it over the heat. Salt it and bring to a boil. Then slowly rain in the cornmeal, stirring constantly with a spoon so no lumps form. Cook, stirring often, for 40–50 minutes. Meanwhile, prep the quail: remove the necks, feet, innards, and excess fat, tie the legs together with kitchen twine, and make a small cut in each breast. Lay a sage leaf on top of each quail and wrap it in two slices of bacon. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet, add the quail, and fry for about 20 minutes. Pour in the wine and simmer the quail another 20–30 minutes. Stir the butter into the finished polenta, spoon it onto plates, top with the quail, and drizzle with the pan juices. The polenta with quail is ready to serve.
