The sauce: reduce chicken stock with Porto.
Add a spoonful of tomato paste. Reduce
further and bind with starch.
Shallot puree: Chop shallots and saute them
in butter with chopped parsley and minced
garlic. Puree them with a little veal stock in the
blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Allow to evaporate on low heat to make the
puree firmer.
Mashed sweet potato: make it like a classic
mashed potatoes with butter, cream, nutmeg,
egg yolk, pepper and salt, but use sweet
potatoes.
Steam broccoli florets. Let the quail fillets get
color in a pan with butter. Add a splash of water
and simmer, covered, for a few more minutes
over low heat.
On a narrow oblong dinner plate: brush a
swipe of balsamic on the dinner plate and
spoon a spoonful of balsamic pearls into the
center of it. Push out a ring of shallot puree with
next to it a smaller ring of sweet potato puree.
Garnish with a broccoli floret and a tuft of leek
shoots. Place the one quail fillets on the other
side of the plate and half-overglaze with sauce.
Serve with croquettes on a separate plate.
