| Author Notes: | If your making a Thanksgiving dinner just for two, you may not want to make the culinary commitment of a turkey and all its ensuing leftovers. This festive recipe for Cornish Game hens is the perfect alternative for an intimate holiday dinner a deux. |
| Ingredients: |
2 Cornish game hens
1 teaspoon rosemary 1 teaspoon thyme 2 tablespoons chopped parsley 1/3 cup butter 5 shallots, peeled and minced salt pepper |
| Instructions: |
Serves 2
Preheat oven to 350°F. If necessary, remove neck and giblets from inside hen. Discard or save for another use (note: your hen may already have this done for you). Rinse with cold water, pat dry and sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper. Place breast side up in a greased shallow baking pan. Truss birds, if necessary. Set aside. Melt butter, add shallots, rosemary parsley and thyme, stir over low heat (so the butter doesn't burn), until shallots are soft, about 3-4 minutes. Place hens in a roasting pan and baste with the butter sauce. Bake for 40 - 50 minutes, basting with more butter every 15 minutes. Garnish with additional parsley. |
