Cornish Hens
Ingredients:
2 cornish game hens
Olive Oil
oregano (to taste - I use 1/2 tsp)
salt (to taste)
Sauce:
1/4 stick butter
Water
Stuffing:
Bread cubed for stuffing (approx 2 cups)
celery (1 stalk - sliced thin)
onion (1/4 cup diced and sautéed)
poultry seasoning (to taste - I use 1 tsp)
sage (to taste - I use 1 tsp)
Water (1 cup - this is also to taste - if you
like dryer stuffing, use less water)
butter (3 tlb spoons)
Instructions:
Boil 1 cup of water, add all ingredients except for bread cubes and let boil for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add bread cubes and mix well.
Rub olive oil all over the hen (inside and out), sprinkle with salt and
oregano (inside and out), stuff with the stuffing.
Put in over @ 450 for 20 minutes, lower temp to 350 and cook for 30
minutes (or until done - when poked the juice of the hen is clear).
Remove hens from over and baking dish. Add the butter and water to the the baking dish and heat for a couple minutes to make a sauce.
