What to serve with Barbecue Quail

Texas Barbecue Quail??

This is quail, stuffed with firejack cheese, wrapped in bacon. I have never done this before, but I'm told it's good. I need ideas for a side dish!! Thanks!

It does sound good. How about some roasted potatoes with rosemary?

Baked Beans...Potato Salad....pasta.....or as pds said, roasted potatoes.
and yes, I'm just a little bit backwoods.

The baked beans sound good! I wonder if I have any in the pantry?

How about making some polenta fries? Roasted Poblano and Queso Cotija Polenta fries. That would be good.

Sorry, but I can't imagine doing that to a sweet little quail.

I salt & pepper them, dredge them in seasoned flour, and brown on both sides in a skillet with bacon grease. When they are browned, I add a little water or broth, put the lid on and let them steam until tender. I serve them with mashed potatoes, quail gravy, peas and bisquits.

Squirrel and wild rabbit are also good fixed this way.

To me this dish just calls out for something with rice. Perhaps some rice stuffed peppers/tomatoes/onions or eggplants. Or a pilaf, perhaps with rice or even another grain such as quinoa or barley.

Thats sounds delish!, and along the lines of what I was thinkin...rice.
(the stuffed onion is going to be on the menu tonite. Thanks Piccolina!)

I haven't read thru the posts, but some thoughts:

Wild rice, rice timbales or risotto
Onions stuffed with walnuts and raisins
Squash stuffed with wild rice, raisins, nuts, cinnamon
Bleu cheese yorkshire pudding - posted a recipe here in the forum - it is made like a popover & doesn't require pan drippings
Creamed spinach
Corn souffle
Roasted asparagus w butter & parm
Cranberry compote or fruity side
Caramelized shallots
Roasted chestnuts
Squash Flan (As a side dish, I posted in the vegetable thread)

My Stuffed Green Chiles would go great with this!
