Low Carb Recipe

Ingredients:

4 Cornish hens
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 cloves garlic, sliced
4 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, minced
4 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
2 bay leaves, cut in half
4 shallots, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 lemons

Instructions:

Rinse the hens under cold water. Pat the hens dry with a piece of paper towel. Sprinkle the hens with pepper. In a mixing bowl combine the garlic, rosemary, thyme and bay leaves. Add in half of the shallots, carrots and celery and mix well to combine. Stuff each hen with the vegetable mixture. Layer the bottom of a baking dish with the remaining shallots, carrots and celery. Place the hens on top of the vegetables. Set the oven temperature to 375 degrees and allow the oven to heat. Bake the hens 50 minutes or until the skins are golden brown and the juices run clear when pricked with a fork. Remove the hens and let stand 10 minutes. Cut the hens in half and discard stuffing before serving.
