Cornish Hens Italiano

We’ve decided to go with Cornish hens for Thanksgiving this year – time to start collecting recipes! This one is from about.com’s homecooking site.

Garlic & Rosemary Cornish Game Hens

I adore garlic so here is yet another recipe using it! I don’t know who gave this recipe to me, I found it this weekend in a kitchen drawer! I hope you enjoy it.

Belgium Waterzooi Belgian (Gentse Waterzooi)

The very pleasant city of Ghent, at the confluence of the Schedlt and Lys rivers, is the historic capital of Flanders in northern Belgium. It is also the home of the most famous of Flemish stews, Gentse waterzooi or waterzooi gantois among the Francophones, a rich chicken stew made with vegetables and eggs and cooked in beer or a rich chicken stock. Waterzooi can be made with chicken, rabbit, or fish. The parsley root is an important part of waterzooi, so do make an effort to get it. Waterzooi is very nice served with boiled potatoes or toasted French bread with some butter.

Moule Frites (Mussels With Chips)

This is served everywhere you go in France & Belgium, particularly on the coast. However I most recently ate this at ‘La Grande Braderie’ in Lille where it is the specialty dish, it was fantastic! For the chips I have used my own recipe for chips as I a) prefer them and b) they are much healthier! Traditionally the ‘frites’ would be deep fried. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
