Very simple dish that calls for an orange marmalade and ginger glaze, and would make an ideal holiday dish for two, or you could easily double. This is from a newspaper recipe I've had for years. Ingredients:
2 (1 1/4 lb) cornish hens |
salt, for cavity |
2 tablespoons melted butter |
1/4 cup orange marmalade |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons flour |
1/4 teaspoon grated ginger |
1 cup milk |
1/2 cup orange marmalade |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350*.
2. Rinse hens and salt the cavity and outside of birds.
3. Place in a shallow, oiled baking pan.
4. Brush hens with 2 TBS melted butter.
5. Bake in 350* oven for an hour, until golden brown.
6. Brush hens with 1/4 cup of the orange marmalade and bake an additional 10 minutes.
7. To make the sauce, melt 2 TBS butter in a small saucepan, over medium heat.
8. Stir in flour and ginger, then gradually add the milk.
9. Cook over medium heat, stiring constantly, until mixture just comes to a boil and thickens.
10. Remove from the heat.
11. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup marmalade, then pour the sauce over the game hens.
