Cornish Game Hens with Herb Shallot Butter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Serves 2 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.
