This week Eli made cornish game hens in a tomato-apricot sauce. We both really liked the apricots. The hens were a bit unwieldy. The recipie below makes one hen, which can serve two people (or one hungry person).
Ingredients
1 Cornish (game) hen, halved
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped yellow onions
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1 cup canned crushed fire-roasted tomatoes
1 cup dried apricots (coarsely chopped)
1 cup chicken stock or water
Preparation
Sprinkle the hen with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and brown at 350 for 30 minutes. In saucepan, heat onions in olive oil and cook over low heat 5 minutes, or until the onions are transparent. Add hens and rendered oil. Add about 1/2 crushed tomatoes and the apricots. Cook for additional five minutes. Add remaining crushed tomatoes and chicken stock. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes.
