Holiday Game Hens
|
 |
2 Cornish game hens (20 ounces each)
1 medium lemon, cut in half
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 bacon strip, diced
1/4 pound ground pork
1/2 cup diced apple
1 tablespoon raisins
1 tablespoon chicken broth
Rub each Cornish hen inside and out with cut lemon. Sprinkle each cavity with salt
and pepper; set aside. In a small skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until
crisp. Remove to paper towels; drain, reserving drippings. In a saucepan, cook
the pork over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the apple,
raisins, broth and bacon. Loosely stuff into hens; skewer openings and tie
drumsticks together. In the reserved drippings, brown hens on all sides. Place
on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Tuck wings under hens. Bake, uncovered, at
425° for 40-45 minutes or until juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads
180°.
Yield: 2 servings.
