I like Cornish Hens. Pretty much all of their meat is the equivalent of dark meat on a chicken, with a lil extra taste and moister thrown in.A few weeks ago, there were some birthdays in the family, so I cooked a bunch up… 8 to be exact. Veevie hooked me up wit a mushroom stuffing idea that I used.
Roasted hazelnuts, sautéed 3 kinds of mushrooms with sage and celery. Made bread crumbs, mixed all together with a couple eggs, thyme, and more fresh sage. Then I stuffed the hens and coated with roasted garlic mixed with olive oil. Threw in the oven at 550 degree, and then reduced to 450. I think they took about an hour and 15 minutes.
Then I plated them with sweet potato fried and a balsamic drizzle (thanks for the drizzle idea Veevie!), and prosciutto wrapped asparagus.
Picture final picture coming soon.
