Conish hens are not just any small chickens, but a special, plumper hybrid developed in the late fifties. They are often sold frozen, but can be thawed overnight in the fridge. In found this recipe in Good Housekeeping magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I’m posting it for safe keeping.
Cornish hen grilled and placed with eggplant dressing. ****You can sub the eggplant with oysters just don’t add salt to the stuffing.You can also use wild mushrooms. I spice up the hens with creole seasonings.
A plump juicy game hen crusted with pistachios and parmesan cheese. I like to stuff mine with Stovetop sourdough bread stuffing as well. I’ve noticed that when stuffed, the birds stay much more moist.
Stick a couple of baked potatoes in the oven and toss a salad, and you have a great meal. I found this in Taste Of Home magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I’m posting this for safe keeping.
Submitted in a Garden Club Cookbook by the President of the Hiawatha Garden Club in Seattle, Washington, Mrs. N.J. Jackson. The hen marinates for 1 hour in this recipe and I included it in the time. This is a simple recipe to prepare.
