Ingredients

Garlic Cream Sauce

1 cup (250 ml) chicken broth
1/2 cup (125 ml) 35% heavy cream
1/4 cup (60 ml) water
18 garlic cloves, halved

Herb Oil

1/2 cup (125 ml) olive oil
1/4 cup (10 g) chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 lemon, zest finely grated
2 tbsp (30 ml) lemon juice
2 tbsp chopped chives
2 tbsp chopped fennel fronds
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Surf and Turf

4 Italian sausages, mild or spicy
4 whole quail, partially deboned and butterflied (see note)
2 squid, cleaned, the head and tentacles separated
3/4 lb (340 g) crayfish
2 fennel bulbs, quartered
18 small pattypan squash or 4 zucchini, cut into 3/4 slices inch (2 cm) thick
12 baby potatoes, blanched

Preparation

Garlic Cream Sauce

In a small pot, bring all the ingredients to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the garlic is tender. In a blender, purée until smooth, then strain. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Herb Oil

In a bowl, combine all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Surf and Turf

Preheat the grill, setting the burners to high. Oil the grate.
On a large baking sheet, lightly oil all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper, with the exception of the sausages.
Grill the sausages for 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Cut into pieces and keep warm. Grill the quail for 3 minutes on each side or until medium doneness. Cut into 4 pieces and keep warm. Grill the squid and crayfish for 2 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Slice the squid into rings and keep warm.
Grill the vegetables until tender and golden brown.
On a large serving platter, arrange the sausage pieces, quail, squid, crayfish and vegetables. Drizzle with half of the herb oil. Serve with the garlic cream and the remaining herb oil on the side.

Note

Partially deboned and butterflied quail can be found in some grocery stores (look in the frozen foods section), or ask your butcher.
