Ingredients | Herb Roasted Nuts

5 stalks celery

1 large onion, quartered - divided

1 lemon, quartered - divided

4 sprigs fresh rosemary, divided

4 Cornish game hens

1 tablespoon olive oil

salt to taste

1 pinch lemon pepper, or to taste

1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves removed and chopped

1 head garlic, peeled

1 large onion, chopped

½ cup white wine

½ cup chicken broth

3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Arrange celery stalks next to each other in the bottom of a heavy roasting pan.

Place 1 onion quarter, 1 lemon quarter, and 1 sprig rosemary in the cavity of each hen. Rub outside of hens with 1 tablespoon olive oil; sprinkle with salt and lemon pepper. Arrange hens atop celery; sprinkle with tarragon, basil, thyme, and chopped rosemary. Scatter garlic cloves and 1 chopped onion around hens.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Whisk wine, broth, and 3 tablespoons olive oil together in a bowl; pour over hens.

Cook hens until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 50 more minutes, basting every 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Turn off oven and let hens rest in the oven for 10 more minutes.
