Stuffed Cornish Hens

By NickiR

Great to serve when you want to impress your guests.

Count on 1/2 hen per person, or buy small ones if you want to do singles.

Ingredients

• 4 small or 2 medium Cornish hens
• 1 cup rice, cooked
• 1 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup mushrooms
• 6 Tbsp. butter
• S&P
• 1/2 tsp. marjoram
• 1/2 tsp. thyme
• 1 cup slivered almonds
• 12 strips bacon

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350*.

Saute onions and mushrooms. In a bowl, mix butter, S&P, marjoram, thyme and nuts. Add sauteed onions and mushrooms and cooked rice. Mix well and stuff the hens.

Wrap three strips of bacon around hens and cook in covered roaster for 1 1/2 hours, uncovering the roaster for the last half hour.
