We have taken to using Cornish hens for roasting instead of young poussins because we’ve found that the hen’s skin is crisper and its meat remains moister during cooking. When roasting the birds, baste with a little of the olive oil drained from the sun-dried tomatoes. The stuffing may be made the day before.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh bread crumbs
  • cups unsalted butter, melted
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper<

Method

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the bread crumbs with ¾ cup melted butter and spread on a baking sheet. Toast
