Another favorite from the grill makes a wonderful dinner for two. Relatively easy to grill and so full of flavor. Goes well with sides of green beans and a Yukon Gold baked potato. Delicious with a Pinot Noir. Ingredients:
2 cornish hens |
2 green onions, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, chopped |
1/8 cup unsalted butter |
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated |
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon thyme |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Combine ingredients and mix until blended. Insert the ginger butter under the breast skin of each bird. Stuff birds (1 cup each) with a prepared stuffing mix of your choice and truss. Brush birds with olive oil, and salt, pepper and sage to taste. Place birds breast side up on a 350° grill for 25-30 minutes. Turn and continue grilling for 25-30 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink when cut at the bone and/or the temperature is 170° at the thickest part of the breast and thigh.
2. Bon Appetite.
