Rock Cornish Game Hens with Cranberry and Apricot Preserve Glaze

November 25, 2020 by Jan D'Atri

The meat department manager at the store knew right where they were.
“Aisle 6, third case down on the left, bottom row.” That’s because even though Rock Cornish Game Hens really only get attention during the holidays, they are generally always there in the frozen food case, just waiting for someone to find a great recipe and then gobble up these delectable little birds. This week I was spending a little time with Julia (Child), reading some of her fun television stories when I stumbled across her account of Unidentified Flying Objects—or small birds. “Eating this meal demands fingers and cooking it demands loving, last-minute attention. The right people to ask to this dinner party (serving Cornish Game Hens) are knowing, sensuous eaters whom you welcome backstage because they understand and enjoy what’s going on there. So dine in the kitchen if you have room.” Doesn’t that just sound like the women we loved to watch on television for decades? Her story made me hunt for one of my favorite recipes for these tasty little one-bird-per-person UFO’s. Cornish Game Hens are all white meat, but they are succulent and have a slight but distinct gamy flavor. This recipe for the roasted hens, served with a wild rice blend (found in most stores and often in the bulk bins) and a sweet and savory glaze, make a perfect weeknight dinner or a fantastic family Sunday supper.
As Julia Child once said, “The best way to execute (French) cooking is to get good and loaded and whack the hell out of a chicken. Bon appétit. ” Well, no need to do that with Rock Cornish Game Hens, but Bon appétit anyway!

Wild Rice Salad

August 15, 2017 by Jan D'Atri

The Story

Two very traditional holiday foods are at the heart of these Rescued Recipes. Both are native crops to America, but neither one gets any “airplay” until the holiday season. That’s when wild rice and cranberries take center stage – or at least “side” stage – on our feasting table.

But two Rescued Recipes could turn these once-a-year specialties into everyday favorites!

Wild Rice Salad

Scottsdale resident Cheryl Korwin clipped this one from a magazine years ago, and it has since earned a permanent place in her 4-inch thick loose-leaf binder of “Favorites.”

“It’s such a hit during the holidays, but we make it all year long. It’s so simple, healthful, and tasty! I always make extra so my guests have a nice cup of my wild rice salad to take home. It’s always been one of my easy to make, go-to favorites!”

Cheryl, we went wild over this salad! We loved the flavor, texture, and the color! It’s festive, fun, and goes really well with chicken, pork, fish, or just great as a main meal!
