Next week is Thanksgiving, if you're looking for a delicious meal on a smaller scale, these Cornish game hens are the perfect option.
CRANBERRY GLAZED CORNISH HENS
Ingredients
· 1 can (10-1/2 ounces) chicken gravy
· 1/2 cup jellied cranberry sauce
· 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
· 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
· 3 Cornish game hens (1-1/2 pounds each)
· Salt and pepper to taste
· Cooked wild rice
· Orange slices
Directions
In 1-qt. saucepan, combine the gravy, cranberry sauce, mustard and orange zest. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until glaze is smooth. Cut hens in half lengthwise; rinse and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on rack with drip pan, skin side down; spoon half of the glaze over hens. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes. Turn hens; bake 25 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 180°, basting occasionally with remaining glaze. Serve on bed of wild rice and garnish with twists of thinly sliced orange.
