Step 1:
Take a large bowl and add the chopped garlic,
chopped parsley, rosemary, salt and
pepper, extra virgin olive oil, the cup of
white wine and the Cornish hen thighs.
Mix the ingredients together. Cover with
saran wrap and place in the refrigerator
overnight to marinate.
Step 2:
Place the Cornish hen pieces on the grill
with medium heat. Cover and then, at
about 20 minutes on one side, flip them to
the other side for another 20 minutes.
Times are approximate, and an eye must be
kept on the grill to be sure there is no overcooking.
Once cooked, place the Cornish
hens in a tray or bowl to cool.
Step 3:
Make sure the green beans are washed and
pat-dried. Also have the half cup of sliced
almonds ready. Place almonds in a pan on
medium to roast for about five minutes to
release the oils and intensify the flavors.
Step 4:
In another pan, add the extra virgin olive
oil in medium heat and then add the green
beans, salt, pepper, parsley and garlic. Let
cook for about five to 10 minutes and then
add the water and the juice of one lemon to
create steam and soften further the green
beans. Add the almonds and toss lightly.
Step 5:
Take a large plate and add the almond
sautéed green beans, then place the grilled
Cornish hens on top of the bed of green
beans. Add a twig of rosemary for presentation
if you wish.
