BAKED CORNISH GAME HENS
Cornish game hens stuffed with a vegetable mixture, then roasted. A Cornish game hen recipe that I found and tweaked a bit for the taste and size of our small family, but it would be very easy to adjust it to fit your needs. It goes well with oven-roasted potatoes.

Steps:
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 425°F.
- Arrange a large wire rack over a large rimmed baking sheet or shallow roasting pan. In a small bowl, combine the pesto and goat cheese, mashing it with a fork until evenly mixed.
- Place a game hen, breast-side down, on a cutting board. Remove backbone by cutting along both sides with poultry shears. Flip the hen over and flatten it by pressing down on the breast bone with your palms. Using a chef's knife, split the hen in two along the breastbone. Extend the wings on each side, and chop off the last two joints. Remove and discard any large deposits of fat. Repeat with remaining hens.
- With your fingers, loosen the skin over the breast and leg. Insert a heaping tablespoon of the pesto mixture under the skin and work it so it evenly covers the breast and leg meat. Smooth the skin back to its original position and repeat with remaining hens. Can refrigerate hens for 2 hours if desired.
- Arrange hens on the large wire rack. Do not overlap. Brush the surface of the hens with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast hens, rotating pan about halfway through, until their nicely browned and juices run clear when a thigh is pricked with a skewer or toothpick (about 30 minutes. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest about 5 minutes before serving.

GRILLED CORNISH GAME HENS WITH PESTO
Another fabulous recipe from Mary Nell Reck's weekly cooking lesson in the Houston Post. This one came out in February of 1989 and is a recipe from Johnny Carrabba, chef and owner of Carrabba's Restaurant here in Houston, way back when there was only the original restaurant. The Cornish hens may be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to grill.

Steps:
- Cut off the wing tips of the Cornish hens.
- Split open, cutting through the breast.
- Split in half through the back by cutting on both sides of the backbone.
- Using a small, sharp knife, remove the ribs and breastbone.
- These bones are easily removed and doing so makes it much easier for the diner to enjoy.
- Slip your fingers under the skin to separate it from the meat. Go in from the side which was next to the backbone. This is where the pesto stuffing goes. Set hen aside while preparing the pesto.
- Give the garlic cloves a firm whack with the side of a knife to remove the skin.
- Crush to release the oils then place in a food processor along with the parmesan cheese, pine nuts, basil leaves,parsley,salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Process until finely ground.
- Slowly add just enough olive oil to make the pesto pasty and moist, but not runny.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the stuffing under the skin of each half and evenly distribute it by applying gentle pressure to the skin.
- Any remaining pesto can be placed in a covered container and refrigerated for several weeks. Because the parsley has been added it will retain its bright green color.
- Sprinkle the skin with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Lightly drizzle with olive oil.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Close to serving time, place about six pieces of pecan or oak chips in water to soak.
- Get a charcoal fire ready to grill on or turn on the gas grill if using that.
- Place the wet wood chips on the coals/ burner to create flavorful smoke.
- Grill the stuffed hens until richly browned on both sides, about 10-20 minutes in all, depending on size of hen.
- Serve immediately.
