BAJAN ROAST GAME HENS
Steps:
- Prepare the "seasoning": mash the garlic, ginger, shallots, jalapeno, scallions, parsley, cilantro and thyme to a paste in a mortar or puree in a food processor. Work in the allspice, most of the lime juice, butter, salt and pepper. Correct the seasonings, add salt, pepper and lime juice to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Wash the game hens and blot them dry with paper towels. Loosen the skin on the hens. To do so, start at the neck of each bird and tunnel your fingers under the skin to separate the skin from the breast meat. Work carefully so as not to tear the skin.
- Spread half of the seasoning mixture under the skins of the game hens. Rub the skin to force the mixture over the thigh and drumstick meat. Spread the remaining seasoning over the breast skin of the birds.
- Roast the birds until golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.

[email protected]This dish was a bit too gamey for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use chicken instead of game hens.
