Persian-Style Baked Cornish Hens are an easy, yet tasty meal to serve at any holiday dinner!
Let’s chat.
How are you doing on this fine Monday morning?
Have you been watching the Hallmark Christmas channel like it’s your job? Wait. Is that even a thing? Are you getting your holiday shopping done? Um, is it wrong that I haven’t even started? I know, I know. I promise to get a move on it now that the cookbook has finally been released. Or….would it be rude if I gave my cookbook as a gift? Cue eye-rolls.
I feel like these past two weeks have been a whirlwind. From the launch party in Wichita right after Thanksgiving to back-to-back parties in Denver and Kansas City, needless to say I am ready to head to Portugal on Wednesday! BUT! I plan to do a full recap of all the parties as soon as I get back because the love for Modern Comfort Cooking has been amazing!
Okay, before I forget I need to tell you about these Persian-Style Baked Cornish Hens. My obsession with Middle Eastern food is at an all time high. After returning from Jordan in September, I’ve been putting hummus and labneh on everything. Now, my cravings have taken me into the holidays with this Persian-Style roasted Cornish hen.
The spice mixture is super simple to make. A combination of turmeric, paprika, cumin, and garlic powder. Rub the mixture all over the hens and then roast for about an hour. Aren’t Cornish hens the cutest things? I think it would be fun to serve these individually for Christmas dinner. Or to eat while watching the Hallmark channel. No judgement here (wink).
In conclusion, our Persian-style baked Cornish Hens offer a fusion of exquisite flavors and tender hens, taking your taste buds on a culinary journey. With each succulent bite, you’ll savor the rich and aromatic essence of Persian cuisine. Enjoy this delightful dish that celebrates the harmony of tastes and traditions.
