Cornish Hens Skewers over Polenta
From Serenella (Printable version)
This is a delicious way to prepare Cornish Hens. I do not have any quantities measured out for this recipe as I usually eyeball it and vary it according to the vegetables I’m using. Here’s my best shot at a formal recipe:
Ingredients:
-
4 Cornish hens cut in quarters
-
Pancetta thickly sliced (about 4 ¼’ thick slices, cut into quarters)
-
Sage leaves as necessary
-
Slices of day-old bread (thick crusted Italian bread is best)
-
Vegetables. This depends on what you like to use to alternate on the skewers with the hens. I use any of the following: tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms (cut in quarters or large pieces)
-
salt
-
pepper
-
olive oil
-
long metal skewers
-
rectangular roasting pan
