Ingredients
Directions
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw quinoa, cooked according to package directions
- 2 shallots chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 4 tbsp honey divided
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp dry parsley flakes
- 1 tsp paprika
- Light olive oil for sautéing Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- 1) Preheat oven to 450, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2) In a small bowl mix together the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and parsley flakes. Set aside.
- 3) Heat a large sauté pan on medium high heat, drizzle with a little light olive oil. Sauté the chopped shallots until translucent.
- 4) Add the craisins, 1 tablespoon of honey, fresh parsley, and fresh dill Sauté this mixture for about a minute, season with salt and pepper, then remove from the heat.
- 5) Place quinoa in a large mixing bowl and pour the prepared craisin mixture into the bowl. Stir to fully combine.
- 6) Place a capon skin side down onto a working surface. Using your hands, create a small ball of the quinoa mixture (about the size of 2 tablespoons) and place in the center of the capon.
- 7) Use two toothpicks to close the capon. Place the capon seam side down onto the prepared baking pan.
- 8) Once you have prepared all of the capons, generously season with the prepared spice mixture. Drizzle the capons with the rest of the honey to fully coat them (this will create a golden crispy exterior).
- 9) Place pan into the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.
- 10) Serve warm and enjoy!
