Game Hen Stuffed with Wild Rice and Mushrooms image

This recipe isn't too difficult, but it looks like an expensive restaurant meal! It is the perfect way to fix up that pheasant, duck or even just a Cornish game hen from your local grocery store. This recipe is made with a Cornish game hen in mind, so if you are using a larger bird, you may want to adjust the amount of the ingredients.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Cornish Hen Recipes

Time 2h

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup uncooked wild rice
1 ½ cups water
1 pinch salt
10 fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1 Cornish game hen, thawed
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning, or to taste
½ teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Bring the rice, a pinch of salt, and water to a boil in a saucepan with a lid. Reduce the heat, cover with a lid, and simmer the wild rice until the kernels burst open, 45 to 50 minutes. Replenish the water if necessary. Fluff the rice with a fork, and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb water.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking dish large enough to hold the game hen.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet, and cook and stir the mushrooms over medium heat until they are partially cooked and starting to give their juice, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir the mushrooms and butter into the cooked rice.
  • Sprinkle the game hen, inside and out, with poultry seasoning, rosemary, and salt and pepper. Lightly stuff the Cornish hen with the wild rice mixture, and tie the legs together with cooking twine to hold in the stuffing. Slice 2 tablespoons of butter into small pats, and dot them around the bird.
  • Bake the bird in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 40 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the game hen from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

Wild Mushroom-Stuffed Chicken Legs image

Number Of Ingredients 15

FOR THE STUFFING:
1/2 ounce dried Porcini mushrooms
1/2 cup dried red wine
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped shallot
1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
3/4 pound fresh mixed, wild or domestic mushrooms, such as Chanterelles, Oyster, Shiitake or Button, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 cups coarsely chopped fresh spinach leaves
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano)
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
4 chicken drumsticks, 8 to 10 ounces each
extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • TO MAKE THE STUFFING: Soak the porcini mushrooms in the red wine for 15 to 30 minutes. Remove the mushrooms and strain the wine through a coffee filter to remove any grit. Set the wine aside. Coarsely chop the porcini mushrooms. In a very large sauté pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the porcini mushrooms, garlic, and fresh mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the reserved filtered wine and cook until the liquid has evaporated. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 30 seconds. Let cool. Stir in the thyme and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Bone the chicken legs (see REFERANCE & APPENDIX, _Boning A Whole Chicken or A Turkey Leg), then rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the leg cavities with salt and pepper, then stuff with the mushroom mixture. Sew the cavities closed with metal or bamboo skewers. Brush or spray the legs all over with olive oil. Grill the stuffed chicken legs over Indirect Medium heat until the meat is firm and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time. For crispier skin, grill over Direct Medium heat during the last 5 to 10 minutes of grilling time. Serve warm.From Weber's Big Book of Grilling. Copyright © 2001 Weber-Stephen Products Co.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH WILD RICE STUFFING



Roasted Chicken With Wild Rice Stuffing image

My daughter found this recipe on another food network and used it to stuff a baked chicken. We all loved it and since then I have fixed it to good reviews from all the family except the grandsons (was probably a little to different for them) The taste is rich and the texture moist, My daughter changed it some as it was intended for a goose, rather than chicken and called for roasted chestnuts, but we prefer mushrooms. Great for that special dinner for friends or family.
