ROASTED CORNISH
HENS WITH RHUBARB
CHUTNEY

For the rhubarb chutney:
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup golden raisins (sultanas)
11/4 lb rhubarb, trimmed and cut
into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup boiling water
For the Cornish hens:
6 Cornish game hens, about 1
pound each, halved
salt and freshly ground pepper
11/2 tablespoons unsalted butter,
melted

To make the chutney:
In a saucepan, combine the
vinegar, doves, ginger, sugar and
raisins. Bring to a boil, reduce the
heat to medium-low and simmer,
uncovered, until the raisins soft-
en, about 5 minutes.
Add the rhubarb and boiling
water.
Continue to cook, stirring occa-
sionally, until the rhubarb is soft,
about 20 minutes. If any liquid
still remains, simmer over high
heat until it almost evaporates.
Transfer the chutney to a bowl
and let cool.
To prepare the hens, preheat
an oven to 500 degrees. Rinse the
hen halves well, then pat dry with
paper towels. Sprinkle on all sides
with salt and pepper. Place the
hen halves, skin side up, in a sin-
gle layer in a roasting pan. Brush
the hens lightly with some of the
melted butter. Roast the hens,
basting with the remaining but-
ter and the pan juices for about 12
minutes, until they are golden and
the juices run clear when a thigh
is pierced, about 25 minutes total.
Remove from the oven, cover with
aluminum foil andlet rest for 10
minutes before serving.

To serve, place 2 hen halves on
each warmed individual plate.
Spoon the chutney on the side.
Serves 6.
