Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 4 Poussin (about 450 grams)
- salt
- freshly ground peppers
- vegetable oil (for the baking dish)
- 1 onion
- 1 Apple
- 1 Cinnamon stick (stick)
- 1 handful Lemon balm
- 30 grams butter
- 1 tsp ground paprika
Preparation steps
Preheat the oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F).
Rinse the cornish hens and pat dry. Season inside with salt and pepper and place them breast side up in an oiled baking dish. Peel and chop the onion. Wash the apple, quarter, core, cut into small cubes. Break the cinnamon sticks into pieces. Rinse the lemon balm, shake dry, and coarsely chop. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and add half the lemon balm, the paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to make the baste for the poultry. Sprinkle the cornish hens with the apples and onions and cook in the oven about 40 minutes until golden brown. Baste with seasoning mixture throughout cooking. Add a little water to the pan as required.
Remove from oven and garnish with the reserved lemon balm to serve.
