GAME HENS WITH MADEIRA AND WILD MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Bring 1 cup chicken stock to simmer in small saucepan. Remove from heat. Add mushrooms; soak 30 minutes. Drain mushrooms, reserving mushrooms and liquid separately.

Pour in reserved mushroom liquid, leaving any sediment at bottom of bowl. Add beef stock, Madeira, thyme sprigs and 1 cup chicken stock. Simmer until reduced to thin sauce consistency, about 25 minutes. Stir in reserved mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve hens with mushroom sauce.
