HAROSET-STUFFED HENS WITH GRAVY AND SWEET POTATOES



Haroset-Stuffed Hens with Gravy and Sweet Potatoes image

Serve the hens with roasted sweet potatoes: Prick four sweet potatoes all over with a fork and rub the skins with extra-virgin olive oil. Place a large ovenproof skillet, preferably cast iron, on the floor of the oven while it is preheating. Roast the potatoes in the skillet, turning them a few times, for 45 to 55 minutes. (This gives the spuds a blistered, crispy skin.) Halve the potatoes lengthwise just before serving them.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling and for hens
4 Cornish game hens (1 1/2 to 2 pounds each), room temperature, patted dry
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 Granny Smith apples, cored and coarsely chopped
2 matzo sheets, broken into pieces
3/4 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup raisins
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup kosher-for-Passover sweet wine, such as Manischewitz
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon potato starch

Steps:

  • Hens: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet or large, shallow roasting pan with oil.
  • Rub cavities and skin of hens with oil, then season with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, toss together apples, matzo, walnuts, raisins, cinnamon, and wine. Season with salt and pepper. Divide stuffing evenly among body and neck cavities of hens. Tie legs together with kitchen twine.
  • Transfer hens to prepared baking sheet. Roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of breasts (without touching bone) registers 165 degrees, 45 to 55 minutes. Transfer hens to a carving board; let rest 15 minutes.
  • Gravy: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup broth and potato starch. Place baking sheet over 2 burners and stir remaining 1 1/2 cups broth into pan drippings. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium-high, scraping up browned bits from bottom. Slowly whisk in potato-starch mixture and simmer, stirring constantly, until gravy is thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Strain through a sieve.
  • Remove twine and cut hens in half lengthwise. Serve, with gravy.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon ground allspice
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 (1 1/4-to 1 1/2-pounds) Cornish hens
1 1/3 cups apricot, date, and pistachio haroseth
1 cup medium-dry Sherry
1 cup water
Accompaniment: parsley mint salsa verde

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle.
  • Whisk together spices, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and oil in a small bowl.
  • Pat hens dry and stuff cavity of each with 1/3 cup haroseth. Place hens in a large flameproof roasting pan and rub all over with spice mixture, including underneath skin of breast meat (loosen skin gently with your fingers). Tuck wings underneath body, then secure legs together with a wooden pick or tie with kitchen string.
  • Roast hens 20 minutes, then brush with pan drippings. Continue to roast, basting every 10 minutes, until juices run clear when a thigh is pierced, 25 to 30 minutes more (45 to 50 minutes total). Transfer hens to a cutting board.
  • Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners and boil drippings, scraping up brown bits, 2 minutes. Carefully add Sherry (it may ignite) and boil 2 minutes (or until flames subside). Add water and boil, stirring, until sauce is slightly thickened and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer sauce to a measuring cup and let stand 1 minute, then skim off fat (or use a fat separator).
  • Serve hens, halved if desired, with sauce on the side.
