Answer 5

Bacon-Wrapped Cornish Hens with Raspberry Balsamic Glaze

Ingredients:

2/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
16 bacon slices
4 (1 1/2- to 1 3/4-pound ea) cornish game hens


Directions:

Briskly simmer jam and vinegar in a small saucepan, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until glaze is reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature (glaze will thicken slightly as it cools).

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Cook bacon in batches in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until some of fat is rendered but bacon is still translucent and pliable, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

Cut out and discard backbone from each hen with kitchen shears, then halve each hen lengthwise. Pat hens dry and season with salt and pepper, then arrange, cut sides down, in a large roasting pan.

Brush hens liberally with glaze, reserving remainder, and wrap 2 slices of bacon around each half hen, tucking ends under. Roast in middle of oven, brushing with pan juices and reserved glaze twice (every 10 minutes), until juices run clear when a thigh is pierced, 30 to 35 minutes. Makes 8 servings.

Answer 6

Cut game hen in half. Rub with garlic and sprinkle with pepper and fresh rosemary.

Sear in a skillet in a little olive oil, skin side down until brown. Remove game hen from skillet and drain the olive oil, reserve it aside.

Return the game hens to the skillet. Add 2 parts light broth and one part DRY white wine to just cover game hens. Add more garlic, pepper and rosemary to taste. Cover and Simmer for about 20 minutes on medium heat.

Use the reserved olive oil and some flour to make a thick rue. Remove the game hens from the broth and while still boiling stir in the rue to thicken.

Serve over rice topped with gravy. Asparagus goes well with this.

I also like them barbecued. Wonderful.
