Cornish Hens
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Intermediate
Total: 1 hr
Prep: 25 min
Cook: 35 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients
1 large Spanish onion, sliced
2 Cornish hens
Cornbread Stuffing, recipe follows
Olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Cornbread Stuffing:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup yellow onion, chopped
2 1/2 cups cornbread
1 celery stalk, diced
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Place the sliced onion in the bottom of a roasting pan. Remove the giblets from the hens, and rinse them inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pinfeathers and pat the outsides dry. Place the hens on top of the sliced onion.
Pack the cavities of the hens with the cornbread stuffing.
Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the hens. Rub the hens with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast the hens for 30 minutes, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh.
Cornbread Stuffing:
Melt the butter in a large saute pan. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes over medium-low heat, until translucent. Break the cornbread into pieces and place the pieces in a large bowl. Add the onion mixture to the cornbread. Add the celery, chicken stock, parsley, salt and pepper, and mix together.

The fall season is back and it is one of my favorite times of the year. I really enjoy the ingredients that are available, especially Pumpkin!
In Morocco, we make a salad of caramelized pumpkins and walnuts, so I decided to stuff cornish hens with the caramelized pumpkin, cook then in a tajine style, then broil them just before serving. This recipe is heavenly and is perfect for you fall menu!

Rock Cornish Game Hens with Fruit Nut Stuffing
Rock Cornish Game Hens work well for a romantic dinner. You can present each person his or her own bird or half a bird, depending on how hungry they are. The stuffing is delicious and works well with the delicacy of the hens and compliments other game such as turkey, goose, capon, pheasant or quail.
Ingredients: For two, one pound Rock Cornish Game Hens
• Two one-pound, Rock Cornish Game Hens with giblets removed.
• One cup wild rice
• Four cups chicken stock, preferably home made. If using canned stock, try to find a variety, which is low in sodium. If using regular canned stock, omit additional salt.
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup chopped celery
• 1/4 cup chopped white onion
• 1/4 dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup dried (or fresh) apricots
• 1/4 cup sliced, roasted almonds
• Zest of one orange
• One ounce Cointreau (optional)
• One cup fresh squeezed orange juice
• Two ounces honey
Method: Stuffing
• Bring chicken stock to a boil. Add salt and wild rice. (Omit salt if using regular, canned stock) Cover and allow to simmer for 45 minutes.
• Melt butter in skillet, which has been set to medium-high. Add chopped celery and allow it to cook for a few moments.
• Add onion and allow to simmer for a few more moments until translucent. (Adding the celery first increases the water content, therefore the onions will not burn)
• Add dried cranberries and dried apricots. (One could substitute the same amount of fresh apricots)
• Add roasted almonds and the zest of one orange and allow the stuffing to sauté for a few moments.
• Add Cointreau (if desired)
• Once everything is well blended, take this portion of the stuffing off heat and keep warm.
• When rice is finished cooking, add it to the stuffing and mix thoroughly. Set aside to cool.
Method: Rock Cornish Game Hens
• Pre-heat oven to 425-degrees
• Rinse hens under cold water. Trim excess fat from along the edges of the cavity.
• Once stuffing is cool enough to handle, stuff the hens loosely with the fruit and nut mixture, making sure that the stuffing reaches the neck of the cavity.
• Using kitchen string, tie together the hens’ legs and tuck any loose flaps of skin over the cavity.
• As a final touch, blend one cup of freshly squeezed orange juice with two ounces of honey. Pour the orange and honey glaze over the birds.
• Place uncovered into the oven.
• Immediately reduce the temperature to 325-degrees. This helps to sear the birds' skin while maintaining their juiciness.
• Roast the Cornish Hens for 45 minutes, basting every 15-minutes. The hens are done when, after pricking the flesh with a fork, the juice runs clear.
