CORNISH HEN UNDER A BRICK
Classic Mediterranean flavors such as lemon, garlic and olive oil are used to season this tender hen. It's then seared in a hot skillet and weighted with a foil-wrapped brick before being finished off in a hot oven. The weight of the hot brick helps the poultry cook more quickly, so the meat stays moist.-Taste of Home Cooking School, Greendale, Wisconsin

CORNISH HENS UNDER A BRICK WITH GREEN BEANS
Steps:
- For the cornish hens: Season the hen halves with salt and refrigerate, uncovered, overnight so the skin can dry out.
- When the meat is ready, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with a rack and set aside.
- Stir together 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the garlic, rosemary, lemon zest and salt to taste, then set aside. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large saute pan and heat over high heat. Working in batches, place 2 hen halves in the pan skin-side down and cover with the foil-lined brick. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the skin is golden brown and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the brick, flip the pieces and cook 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to the prepared sheet pan skin-side up. Repeat with the remaining 2 hen halves, reserving the saute pan. Brush the hens with the oil, garlic and rosemary mixture and bake until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and keep warm.
- While the hens are baking, heat the reserved saute pan over medium-high heat, add the shallots and saute until translucent, 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine, then add the sage. Cook until the wine is reduced, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the stock and cook until reduced by half, 5 minutes. Finish the sauce with the butter and lemon juice and keep warm.
- For the green beans: Set up a large pot of well-salted boiling water. Set up a large bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the green beans until bright green and tender, but still crisp, 1 minute. Remove from the boiling water and plunge them immediately into the ice bath. Once the beans are cool, remove them and pat dry.
- Combine the olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a medium saute pan. Turn the heat to medium and gently cook until the garlic is golden brown, but not burnt, 3 to 5 minutes. Discard the garlic, then add the green beans and toss to coat in the garlic oil. Add the almonds and toss to combine.
- Serve the cornish hens with the sauce and green beans.
GRILLED CURRY CORNISH HENS
Steps:
- Preheat grill to 500 degrees F. Place a brick, wrapped in aluminum foil onto the grates of the grill to heat.
- Place the vegetable oil into a 1-quart saucepan and place over high heat. Heat until you see ripples in the in the oil, but do not allow to smoke. Add the fennel, cumin, coriander, mustard seed and paprika. When the seeds begin to pop, remove from the heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, transfer the mixture to the carafe of a blender along with the almonds and salt. Pulse until pureed, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender, if necessary.
- Place the hen breast side down on a cutting board. Using scissors or poultry shears, cut from the neck to the tailbone to remove the backbone. Once you remove the backbone you will be able to see the inside of the bird. Make a small slit in the cartilage at the base of the breastbone to reveal the keel bone. Grab the bird with both hands on the ribs and open up like a book, facing down towards the cutting board. Remove the keel bone. Cut small slits in the skin of the bird behind the legs and tuck the drumsticks into them in order to hold them in place. Place the birds into a baking dish and pour over the puree. Rub the puree onto the birds until thoroughly coated.
- Place the birds onto the middle of the grill, skin side down and cover evenly with the brick. Close the lid and cook for 10 minutes. If using a gas grill with multiple zones, decrease the middle flame to low. After 10 minutes, turn the birds over, replace the brick and continue to cook until a thermometer inserted into the thigh reaches 170 degrees F, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack and allow the bird to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
