Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Juice, from 1 can pineapple slices
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon vinegar (any type)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cornish game hens, about 1 1/2 pounds each
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Take off heat and stir in vinegar. Preheat the broiler. Cut the hens in half, using either a cleaver or poultry shears, cutting around and discarding the backbones. Use the palm of your hand to flatten the halves slightly. Brush hens with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 small leek, white part with 1 inch of green, finely chopped and rinsed
1 small apple (about 4 ounces), peeled, cored, and diced
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh sage, plus sprigs for garnish
1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley, plus sprigs for garnish
2 cups cubed day old cornbread
3/4 to 1 cup chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 Cornish hens, giblets discarded, patted dry

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-low heat. Saute the leeks for 8 to 10 minutes, until softened. Add the apples and cook for 3 minutes more. In a medium bowl combine the leek mixture with the sage, parsley, cornbread and enough broth to moisten. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Stuff the birds with the cornbread mixture and tie the legs of each hen together with kitchen twine. Melt the remaining butter. Brush the birds all over with butter and season with salt and pepper. Put the hens on a rack in a large roasting pan, breast-side up. Roast until an instant read thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 170 degrees F., about 80 minutes. Set the birds aside at room temperature, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes before carving. Split the hens in half through the breast with a sharp knife or poultry shears, and keep the stuffing intact. Arrange birds skin-side up, on a platter, garnish with sprigs of herbs and serve.
