Garlic Gamehens
For those who consider garlic a vegetable not a spice....
Modified a garlic chicken recipe I had. Had it as a special dinner tonight. Was WONDEFUL!
2 rock cornish game hens
1 1/2 -2 cups garlic cloves, whole but peeled
some butter
taragon
sage
rosemary
Stuff the hens with the garlic cloves, (next time I'll microwave the garlic a bit first to be sure it is cooked when the hens are done) melt a little butter and add the other spices. Brush the hens with the spice butter cook until done uncoverd in a medium oven (I don't know how long I use a meat thermometer and cook to 185 internal temp)Squish garlic cloves over fresh baked bread to eat with the hens. (I made a whole wheat bread, but a sourdough would work well too or even bisquits)
Serve with 1 bottle of a nice medium red wine (yeah I know but the garlic cries for red not white wine <G>, besides the neighbors make a wonderful Pinot Noir that goes great with this)
Serves 2
