Roasted Cornish Hens

Herb Butter and Seasonal Vegetables

Mother’s Day is fast approaching, I wanted to get this out as a last minute idea but it is great for a weekend feast as well :)!

Whole Foods had a sale on Cornish Hens so that is what I decided to use. However a whole roasted chicken would also work wonderfully with this as well.

Some suggestions for substitutions in this recipe…

Radishes: Rainbow Carrots or Breakfast/easter radishes

Fingerling Potatoes: Baby Dutch or Red Potatoes

Ramps: Regular garlic/scallions/young garlic

Drink Pairing:

For this recipe I made a Hugo Spritz

• 4 oz. Prosecco

• 2 oz. Club Soda

• 1 oz. St Germaine

• 1 Sprig of Mint (don’t forget to slap it!)

• Squeeze of Lemon

• Lemon Wheel

In a wine glass add ice. Build in the glass. Add Mint. Garnish with Lemon Wheel.
