Title: Glazed Cornish Hens With Pecan Rice Stuffing
Categories: Poultry, Rice, Nuts, Vegetables, Fruits
Yield: 8 Servings
8 Cornish game hens
- (20 to 24 oz ea)
1/4 c Butter; softened
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper
2 c Unsweetened apple juice
1 tb Honey
1 tb Dijon mustard
MMMMM-------------------------PECAN RICE------------------------------
2 tb Butter
1 1/2 c Uncooked long grain rice
2 ts Ground cumin
1 ts Curry powder
4 c Chicken broth
1 c Pecans; toasted, chopped
3 Green onions; thin sliced
1/2 c Golden raisins
Tuck wings under hens; tie drumsticks together. Rub skin with
butter; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place hens breast side up in
a shallow roasting pan.
Bake, uncovered, @ 350°F/175°C for 1 hour. Meanwhile, place apple
juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until reduced by
half. Remove from heat. Stir in honey and mustard. Set aside
1/2 cup for serving.
Brush hens with apple mixture. Bake, basting occasionally with pan
drippings, until a thermometer reads 180°F, 25 to 35 minutes
longer. Cover hens loosely with foil if they brown too quickly.
For pecan rice, heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add rice, cumin, and curry; cook and stir until rice is lightly
browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce
heat; simmer, covered, until rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir
in pecans, onions, and raisins.
Cover hens; let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serve with rice
and reserved sauce.
