Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 tablespoons schmaltz (rendered chicken fat)
6 Cornish (game) hens, halved
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 cups chopped yellow onions
1 teaspoon cloves
3 cups canned diced plum tomatoes, with the juices reserved
3 1/2 cups dried apricots, soaked in hot water for 1 hour and drained
2 cups chicken stock or water
1/3 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Heat 6 tablespoons schmaltz or peanut oil in a large saucepan. Sprinkle the hens with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and brown. In another saucepan heat the remaining chicken fat or peanut oil, add the onions and cook over low heat 5 minutes, or until the onions are transparent. Add the remaining 3 teaspoons cinnamon and cloves and cook for about 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Add about 1/2 cup reserved tomato liquid. Puree half the soaked apricots in a food processor or blender, and coarsely chop the rest. Add the pureed apricots, the diced tomatoes and 1 cup chicken stock to the onion mixture. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Puree 2 cups of the onion mixture. Return to the pan, add the remaining apricots, brown sugar and chicken stock and add enough liquid to make a medium-thick sauce. In a large casserole place half the sauce. Add hens and cover with remaining sauce. Bake the poultry, covered, in a 350 degree preheated oven until done, about 30 to 40 minutes.
