Cornish Game Hens stuffed with cranberries and apples make an easy, but elegant dinner.

  • 2 Cornish Game Hens (About 1 1/2 Pounds Each)
  • 1/2 Cup Cranberries (Chopped)
  • 1 Small Granny Smith Apple (Finely Chopped)
  • 1 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Rosemary
  • 3 Garlic Cloves (Minced)
  • 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil (Divided)
  • 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (Cut Into Pieces)
  • 1 1/2 Pounds Small Red Potatoes
  • 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Season hens with kosher salt and pepper.
  3. In medium-size bowl combine cranberries, apples, garlic, rosemary, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Spoon cranberry mixture into cavities of hens. With kitchen twine tie legs together. Place in large-size cast iron skillet or baking dish. Place potatoes around hens. Drizzle hens and potatoes with remaining olive oil. Dot hens and potatoes with butter pieces.
