This is a tasy treat . The fruity flavour of the quince compliments the turkey meat and together they form a savory dish that is slowly cooked in the oven.
The recipe:
100 gr. Unsalted butter 82% fat
1 kg. Quinces
2 big spoons of honey
1 big spoon of brown sugar
4-3 cups of water or concentrated soup
1 kg turkey meat ( I used the thigh and aprox. 0.850 kg of meat)
1 big spoon of flour
1 big spoon of olive oil
200 ml. White wine ( I used Chenin Blanc Cape Buffalo)
1 cinnamon stick
the juice from ½ lemon
Clean the quinces and cut them in large pieces. Place the pieces in a big bowl with water with the lemon juice. I also kept the stubs in order to add them with the meat in the boiling process for extra flavour.
Cut the meat in small pieces and sprinkle flour on it.
Prepare a heated pan, add 50 gr. butter and the olive oil. Pun the meat and fry it on all sides until a shiny crust is achieved.
Add the remaining 50 gr butter and put the quinces. When they start to sizzle add the white wine. Add honey and let it caramelize. You can add the salt and pepper and put them on the side after the caramelization process is finished.
Add in a big pot the meat, 2 cups of water or concentrated soup and the cinnamon stick. Let it boil for one hour, add more cups of water or soup if necessary. I used the thigh because it has bone for extra flavour.
Heat the oven for 180 degrees Celsius with ventilation on. Choose a ceramic shape in which you can put the meat and the quinces. I have picked the meat off the bone and also added one thigh with the bone for extra flavour. On the bottom of the ceramic tray you put the meat and the sauce. On top you arrange the quince slices on which you sprinkle brown sugar. You can add 150 ml of water or concentrated soup on top. Let it cook for 30 min without any lid.
The final dish is so packed with flavour! I love it!
Looks like I am already Salivating seeing this
Hahah I believe you😄
I couldn't help but stop by your post and tell you that your photographs are wonderful, the cover is spectacular, but the rest of the images that illustrate your recipe are also incredible, it makes my mouth water. A photo as simple as the one of the butter in the pan has turned out amazing.
Thank you very much, I have noticed as well that my photography skills improved a lot, the photo with the pan is simple yet eye catching, it is one of my favourites too😁

Looks and sounds amazing. Will remember this for once I have an oven again. There is none in my current kitchen.
I am sure that you would love this! You could cook this in an open fire buy it would be kind of chilly for you , to sit and watch for it while it's slowly cooking,
Not a bad idea at all. The weather is actually improving. It stopped raining, yesterday and the sun is starting to seriously show her face, once again. Spring vibes all over :<) ✨☀️
When I was a child my relatives who lived in the countryside used to do this open air kind of cooking in the summer.
There was a special jam made out of plums called marmelade ( magiun) which was done in a giant cast iron cauldron which had to sit on the fire for 10-12 hours and slowly cook. Once in a while we would stir with a big wooden spoon. The jam had no sugar added.
There is something so magical about cooking your food outdoors and preparing the fire for it.
For me that smell triggers a feeling of joy. The burned wood , the air, the smell..it just makes anyone happy to cook.
This fond memory of mine makes me dream of having one day one giant outdoor kitchen where I could cook in the nice days. Imagine having a family meal cooked outdoors where everybody could help instead of being confined in a small kitchen.
So if you can, try it, it is one of the advantages of living in a house with a yard🥰
The pot was big, almost triple this size

This looks yummy
I’m just wondering the kind of taste it will give
It should be a good one though
It is fruity because of the quinces and cinnamon. The sauce is the best, it is that kind of flavoury sauce that you can't wait to dip your bread in:)
😃 You are teaching me how to cook and I like it. That looks delicious.🥰
Thank you! It is so so good!
