Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and put a baking rack on top.
- Mix together the grill seasoning, dressing, and chopped herbs in a small bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons. Generously rub the hens inside and out with the herb and dressing mixture. Stuff each hen with a sprig of each herb and a piece of lemon.
- In a large bowl, combine the carrots, onions and potatoes with the reserved 2 tablespoons of dressing mixture, a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Put the vegetables in a large roasting pan and arrange the hens on top. Roast them until the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer registers 180 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, about 50 to 55 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, cover with foil and let the hens rest for 5 minutes before serving. Transfer the hens to a large serving tray with the roasted vegetables.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Make the pumpkin seed pesto: Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil, the pepitas, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a large pinch of paprika in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, shaking the skillet, until the seeds begin popping and some turn brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Transfer the seeds and oil to a food processor; add 1/2 cup water, the parsley, scallions, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt and pulse until pureed. Remove about 3 tablespoons of the pesto for the hens and set aside the rest for serving.
- Slide your fingers under the breast skin of each hen to loosen. Slide 2 heaping teaspoons of the pesto under the skin of each hen, then rub the skin to distribute the pesto.
- Mash the garlic and 2 teaspoons salt with the flat side of a chef's knife to make a paste. Combine with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon paprika in a bowl, then rub all over the hens. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Put the hens on a rack in a shallow roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet and tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Roast, rotating the pan halfway through, until the skin is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 170 degrees F, about 1 hour. Let rest 15 minutes, then cut each hen in half. Serve with the reserved pesto.

ROASTED CORNISH GAME HENS
This is an easy weeknight dinner that will feed 4. I just love what rosemary, thyme, and Dijon do to these delectable little birds. It's great served over baked sweet potatoes or fingerlings.

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.
