Yield Makes 2 servings; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 Cornish game hen (about 1 1/2 pounds), halved
2 teaspoons Greek spice blend
2 small clementines
1 6-ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts
1/4 cup pitted assorted Mediterranean olives
1/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle game hen with salt and pepper. Using fingers, loosen skin and rub spice blend between meat and skin.
  • Slice unpeeled clementines crosswise. Arrange clementines, artichoke hearts with juices from jar, and olives in single layer in 13x9-inch metal baking pan. Place hen atop clementine mixture.
  • Roast hen until golden and cooked through, about 25 minutes. Brush with pan juices. Transfer 1 hen half to each of 2 plates. Place baking pan atop burner over medium-high heat. Spoon off excess fat. Add wine to clementine mixture in baking pan. Cook until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 2 minutes. Spoon sauce over hen halves. Spoon clementine mixture alongside and serve.
