GARNISH

For the marinade: Saute onions in olive oil until they just begin to color.

Deglaze with sherry vinegar and cool. Add remaining marinade ingredients and marinate quail for 4-6 hours refrigerated.

For the vinaigrette: Combine vinaigrette ingredients and allow to sit at least 2 hours refrigerated for flavors to develop.

At serving time attractively arrange mache, arugula and citrus sections on plates. Grill or broil quail until just done (flesh should be slightly pink). Place on top of greens and spoon yogurt vinaigrette around.

Yield: 4 servings
