Cooking Under Pressure Cornish Game Hens Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in pressure cooker at medium heat, and brown Cornish hen for about 3 minutes on each side.
• Combine all other ingredients in a bowl, and pour over hen.
• Close lid securely with pressure regulator on vent pipe.
• Cook at high heat until pressure regulator starts to rock.
• Turn heat down to medium high and continue cooking for 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and let pressure drop on its own.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a small mixing bowl, stir together salt, lemon pepper, dried basil and poultry seasoning. Rub olive oil all over the hens and season each with the salt mixture. Place the hens on a baking sheet pan with plenty of space between them. You may need to use 2 pans. Loosely stuff the cavities of each hen with some green bell pepper, celery and onion. Roast the hens in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F and the juices run clear. Remove the hens from the oven, loosely tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes before carving or serving.
