A simple yet impressive dish. Low in sodium and calories, this is great for people who are on a restricted diet, yet still want to indulge their gourmet cravings. From Southern Living, February 1986. Ingredients:
2 (1 1/4 lb) cornish hens |
1/4 cup chopped green onion |
vegetable oil cooking spray |
1/2 cup dry vermouth |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce |
paprika |
fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F/230°C Remove giblets from hens, and reserve for other uses. Rinse hens with cold water, pat dry, then split lengthwise butterfly-style with a sharp knife (or an electric knife).
2. Sprinkle green onions in a 12x8x2-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray; place the split hens over onions.
3. Combine vermouth, lemon juice, and soy sauce and pour over the hens.
4. Sprinkle lightly with paprika and pepper.
5. Bake at 450°F/230°C for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F/180°C, and bake an additional 25 minutes or until done.
