Stuffed Cornish Game Hens and Grilled Artichokes
« Reply #-1 on: October 12, 2012, 03:26:10 PM »
Start with 2 hens...



Leftover pulled pork finely chopped...



Add some cornbread stuffing...





Stuffed the game hens and seasoned with John Henry's Chicken Tickler...



Infuser loaded with cherry pellets and chips. Onto the gas grill side burner on high with a 5 minute pre-heat ...



And in they go. See you in 60 minutes...



One Artichoke...



Split...



Then into the steamer for 20 minutes...



Unsalted butter, minced garlic, and Big Poppa's Desert Gold Seasoning...



Melt in the nuclear infuser(microwave)...



Then brush the Artichokes on all sides with the butter...



Fired up the Memphis with the grill zone insert. Time for the Artichokes to get grilled for a few minutes...





Artichokes are done. Plated with Chipotle Mayo for dipping...





After a 150F reading in the backside of the hens with my Thermapen I pulled them off the heat...





Hen plated with a Red Romaine salad topped with Lox, Parmesan Cheese, Peppercorn Asiago dressing, and Capers...

Nice job! Stuffed Cornish hens used to be my go-to date dinner when I was in college. But I served it with asparagus & Hollandaise.

Nice job on the chokes too!
