STUFFED CORNISH GAME HENS
THIS ENTREE makes an ordinary day special. Whenever I cook Cornish hens for my husband and me, it stirs up warm memories of family times around the holiday dinner table. I bake the extra stuffing separately so we're sure to have enough. -Nancy Aubrey, Ruidoso, New Mexico

Steps:
- Mix the cinnamon, 4 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl; sprinkle all over the hens and inside the cavities. Place the hens on a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate, uncovered, at least 2 hours or overnight. Meanwhile, soak the grape leaves in water 1 hour.
- Bring the chicken broth and 2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan; add the rice blend and cook as the label directs. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot, garlic, ginger and cumin and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; add the cooked rice, pomegranate seeds, and chopped parsley and cilantro; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Add the egg yolks and stir to combine.
- Make the glaze: Bring the orange juice and pomegranate molasses to a boil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
- Fill the cavity of each hen with about 1/2 cup of the rice mixture (reserve the rest); tie the legs together with twine. Roast 20 minutes, then brush with the pomegranate glaze. Continue roasting, glazing every 10 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165 degrees F to 170 degrees F, 1 hour to 1 hour, 10 minutes. (Rotate the hens halfway through cooking; if the skin gets too dark, cover loosely with foil.)
- Meanwhile, drain the grape leaves and pat dry. Use some of the leaves to line a 9-inch pie dish. Fill with the reserved rice mixture and drizzle with 2 tablespoons water. Cover with the remaining grape leaves, shiny side up, then cover with foil. (If you aren't using grape leaves, spoon the rice into a pie dish, sprinkle with water and cover with foil.) After the hens have roasted about 20 minutes, transfer the rice to the oven and cook until heated through, about 45 minutes.
- Transfer the hens to a platter and add some parsley and cilantro sprigs and pomegranate seeds. Peel the grape leaves off the top of the rice and serve alongside the hens.

Steps:
- Clean the Cornish hens well, rinse inside and out and pat dry. Season the insides with salt and pepper, place in a roasting pan and refrigerate until ready to stuff. For the stuffing, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, salt and pepper and sweat for 5 minutes. Add the zucchini, sweet potato, baking potato and garlic and cook, stirring, for another 15-20 minutes, until all of the vegetables have softened. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl and cool completely. Once cool, you can start stuffing the hens. Preheat your oven to 400° F. Divide the stuffing among the hens, stuffing each cavity with about 1/2 a cup of stuffing. You can use string to tie the legs together, but it's not necessary. Once they're all stuffed, drizzle a little olive oil over each of them and rub the oil over them. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 40 minutes. While the hens are roasting, mix all of the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl. After 40 minutes, brush each hen generously with the glaze. Roast another 10 minutes, then glaze again and roast another 10 minutes. Stick the point of a knife into the leg joint -- if the juices run clear, the hens are done. Let them rest for 5 minutes, then serve. If they need a little more cooking, baste with the juices then roast another 5-10 minutes, until the juices run clear.

VEGETABLE STUFFING FOR CORNISH GAME HENS
This is a slightly different stuffing, very tasty and if you don't eat fowl just have it as a side dish. This recipe is enough for 4 Cornish hens but if you are just cooking two put the rest of the stuffing in an oven proof dish and heat for about 25 minutes. In this way you can accommodate your vegetarians friends as well.
