Usually made with pigeons instead of Cornish hens, this dish (pronounced ha-MAM mah-SHE bee boor-GHOUL) is one of the delicacies of Egypt, where villagers along the Nile River raise pigeons. The stuffing is baked separately and served alongside the hens. I am posting this recipe for World Tour 2-Middle Eastern

GRILLED CORNISH GAME HENS W/GINGER BUTTER
Another favorite from the grill makes a wonderful dinner for two. Relatively easy to grill and so full of flavor. Goes well with sides of green beans and a Yukon Gold baked potato. Delicious with a Pinot Noir.
