Game Hens With Sage-Rice Stuffing


Serves: 4
Total Calories: 521

Ingredients

FOR THE STUFFING:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
2 cups cooked, cooled white rice
1/2 cup raisins
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 Cornish hens, 1 1/2 to 2 pounds each
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions:

TO MAKE THE STUFFING: In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the remaining stuffing ingredients and cook, stirring two or three times, until the rice is heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

Remove the giblets from the hens and discard. Rinse the hens, inside and out, under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season, inside and out, with salt and pepper. Loosely fill the cavity of each bird with about 1/2 cup of the stuffing, then truss with cotton string (see REFERANCE & APPENDIX, _Trussing: All Tied Up).

Brush the hens with the melted butter and grill, breast side down, over Indirect Medium heat until the stuffing reaches 165°F in the center, the juices run clear, and the meat is no longer pink at the bone, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove the string and serve warm.
