For this recipe, start by using the spatchcock method to prepare quail for the grill. Remove excess moisture from the birds to prevent them from sticking to the grill. Be careful when preparing the polenta; it is important to have the correct ratios of liquid to grain, and make sure that you cook it over a low heat for the recommended time to prevent lumps, adding small amounts of water if necessary. Remember, the mascarpone cheese and butter will provide the richness and flavor to the polenta.
