TUSCAN GRILLED CORNISH HENS



Tuscan Grilled Cornish Hens image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Cornish hens, flattened
Kosher salt
1/3 cup good olive oil
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
Freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, halved
Fleur de sel, for serving

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the Cornish hens with 1 teaspoon salt on each side.
  • Combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a ceramic or glass dish just large enough to hold the flattened hens. Add the hens, and turn to coat. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, turning once or twice.
  • When ready to grill, prepare a hot charcoal fire on one side of a grill (or turn a gas grill on low heat). Spread 1/4 of the coals across the other side of the grill. Place the hens on the cooler side skin-side up and weigh them down with a gratin dish with a foil-wrapped brick inside.
  • Cook for 12 minutes, until the underside is golden brown. Turn the hens skin-side down, weigh them down again, and cook for another 12 minutes until the skin is golden brown and the hens are cooked through.
  • Place the lemon halves on the cool side of the grill, cut-side down, for the last 10 minutes of cooking. Remove the Cornish hens and lemons to a plate or cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Cut the hens in half, sprinkle with fleur de sel, and serve with the grilled lemon halves.

Grilled cornish hens are elegant showstoppers and so easy to make with a simple marinade. This 30-minute recipe is for both casual and fancy dinners!

Provided by Diana

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 x 1 - 1.5 lb whole cornish hens (thawed)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and place the Cornish hens skin side down on a cutting board.
  • Using kitchen shears cut along one side of the backbone from the tail towards the neck. Cut along the other side of the backbone to remove it completely.

  • Place the hens skin side up over the heat/coals and brush them with the remaining marinade. Cover and cook for 5 minutes then flip and cook for another 15-25 minutes.
  • Remove from the grill and serve.

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 small leek, white part with 1 inch of green, finely chopped and rinsed
1 small apple (about 4 ounces), peeled, cored, and diced
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh sage, plus sprigs for garnish
1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley, plus sprigs for garnish
