SPATCHCOCKED CORNISH HEN WITH MASHED POTATOES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the garlic powder, pimenton, rosemary and lemon zest in a small bowl. Toast the coriander and cumin seeds in a small pan until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Combine the toasted seeds with the other spices and grind in a spice grinder.
- Season the game hen with salt and crushed red pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sear the hen, skin-side down, adjusting the heat as necessary. Place the brick on top of the hen and cook until evenly browned. Remove the brick and flip the hen. Rub some of the spice mixture onto the skin side. Flip the hen over and rub some of the spice mixture onto the back side. Roast in the oven, skin-side down, for 15 minutes. Flip the hen skin-side up and continue to roast until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature is 165 degrees F, about 15 minutes more. Let rest.
- Serve drizzled with olive oil, with Mashed Potatoes on the side.
- Place the potatoes and garlic in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and heavily season the cooking water with salt. Turn down the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender; drain. Pass the potatoes through a food mill into a bowl.
- Meanwhile, bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add 1/4 cup of the heated cream and the cold butter to the potatoes and stir vigorously. Add more cream and butter as needed. Season with salt.
ROAST CORNISH HENS WITH ROSEMARY, POTATOES, LEMONS & WINE
This is the best and easiest chicken dish in Italy or anywhere. If you really wish to impress your guests at a dinner party, serve this dish. Even if you can't boil water, you will be able to make this classic, since everything is simply tossed with olive oil, placed in a pan, and roasted. The potatoes are suffused with oil and fresh rosemary, the chicken is crisp and juicy, and the sauce in the pan is perfect for a last crust of bread. From 'Rome, at Home' by Suzanne Dunaway.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush the chicken or game hens liberally with some of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper inside and out. Sprinkle with paprika.
- Place the lemon quarters in the cavity, giving each (lemon) a little squeeze to release the oil from the skins.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper and toss them with the rest of the olive oil and the rosemary leaves. Spread them around the chicken in a large baking pan.
- Fold a piece of aluminum foil double into a rectangle about the size of the chicken. Grease it down the middle, making a little tent, and lay the foil loosely over the breast.
- Roast the chicken for 45 minutes, basting 2 to 3 times with the fat in the pan.
- Add the wine (it will quickly evaporate in the hot oven, leaving a lovely flavor in the potatoes), remove the foil, and cook for 15 to 20 more minutes.
- If the breast is not browned enough, turn on the broiler for a few seconds to crisp the skin, but watch carefully so as not to burn your masterpiece.
- Carve the large chicken or split the game hens and serve with the potatoes and the pan juices poured over the chicken.

- Add potatoes to hens and onions. Pour fat from casserole. Return to heat and add mushrooms and bay leaf, stirring from bottom.

Steps:
- Rinse and dry the hens inside and out. Season the cavities with salt and pepper. Tuck some of the herbs into the cavities of each of the hens. Tuck the wing tips back and tie the legs with butcher's cord.
- Melt the butter in a large, heavy casserole that will hold the hens. Brown the hens on all sides on top of the stove. Remove them from the casserole.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Add the shallots to the casserole and saute over medium heat until tender and barely beginning to brown. Stir in the garlic, cook briefly, then stir in the wine and stock. Remove from the heat.
- Place the hens in the casserole, cover and place in the oven for 25 minutes.
- While the hens are roasting, boil the potatoes in salted water until they are just tender, about 20 minutes.
- When the hens are done, remove them to a warm serving platter. Place the casserole on top of the stove and add the potatoes. Simmer very gently for about five minutes, gently turning the potatoes in the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add any juices that have drained from the hens onto the serving platter.
- Wipe the rim of the serving platter with a paper towel. Arrange the hens on the platter and spoon the sauce with the potatoes around them. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:
- Combine the yogurt, coconut aminos, garlic, salt, peppercorns, turmeric, and ginger in a blender. Use a Microplane to grate in the zest of both lemons, then halve one and squeeze in the juice. Reserve the re-maining lemon for another purpose. Blend on high speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Rinse the hens under cool water, inside and out, and pat dry very well. Put them in a large bowl or pan and spoon about one third of the yogurt marinade into the cavities of the birds, spreading it around as best you can. Pour the rest of the marinade over the hens, using the spoon to make sure they're completely coated, tops and bottoms, including the wings and crevices between the legs and breasts.
- Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 16 hours or up to 2 days.
- About half an hour before you're ready to cook the hens, remove them from the fridge to take the chill off. Heat the oil in a wide, heavy skillet over medium heat until shimmery. Add the onions and 1½ teaspoons of the salt. Stir well, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to soften and release liquid, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid has evaporated and the onions have a creamy texture, turn a deep golden color, and taste very sweet, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spread the potatoes on a large sheet pan, sprinkle with the remaining 1½ teaspoons of salt, and toss well. Add the cooked onion mixture, stir well, and spread them to make a bed for the hens-a snug single layer in the center of the pan.
- Take the hens out of the marinade (don't scrape any off, but do leave behind anything left in the bowl) and put them on the potato-onion mixture, with a few inches of space between each one. Roast until the hens are golden brown with some dark patches and poking the thighs reveals juices with no trace of pink (a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast should register 150°F), 40 to 45 minutes.
- Let the hens rest in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a platter to serve.
