Roasted Cornish Hens with Black-Olive ButterJohn Kernick
Cornish hens have a distinctive, delicate flavor that can be easily overpowered. Perhaps surprisingly, the extroverted combination of olives and capers doesn't drown out the meat, but gives it an unexpectedly earthy and savory quality.
Cooks' Notes:
·Olive butter can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before using.
· Hens can be stuffed with olive butter 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered with plastic wrap, in baking pan.
