I am going through my cookbooks at home to see if I can find some new recipes to make. In a Paula Deen cookbook that I have, it has a recipe for Marinated Cornish Hens and I am not sure about an ingredient that was in there. Here is the recipe:
Marinated Cornish Hens:
2 split Cornish hens
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
8 T. (1 stick) butter
One 10-3/4 oz. can beef broth
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
2 T. sherry
Salt & pepper to taste
16-oz.s fresh mushrooms, diced
Wash, pat dry, and salt and pepper hens. Place in long, flat baking dish. Saute onion & garlic in butter. Add remeining ingredients except the mushrooms. Stir & pour over hens; cover & refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add mushrooms and bake for 1 hour, basting frequently. Serve with wild rice.
Variation: Chicken can be substituted for Cornish hens.
My question is this: Do you think it should be chicken broth instead of beef broth?
