I like experimenting with different foods and adapting them to my own tastes. These hens are one of my specialties, an entree I concocted by combining a few different recipes. The moist meat has a pleasant grilled flavor that's accented with cloves and ginger.David Baruch, Weston, Florida Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened |
2 green onions, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley |
2 tablespoons grated fresh gingerroot |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon salt, divided |
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided |
4 cornish game hens (20 to 24 ounces each) |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the butter, onions, parsley, ginger, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
2. Rub mixture under the skin and over the top of each game hen. Sprinkle remaining salt and pepper inside the hen cavities.
3. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan.
4. Place hens breast side up over drip pan and grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 45-60 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 180° and the meat juices run clear. Yield: 4 servings.
