Fool proof, cast iron pan, juicy tasty dinner. The secret is cutting the bird in equal pieces, so all pieces get ready at fifteen minutes per side. Great recipe if you have never cooked before, or are in a hurry. Putting the skillet in the oven assures perfect results every time.

Cornish hens are young and most tender, but bland. The special flavors and aromas of native wild rice pilaf and sage are stuffed in this crust baked whole cornish hen, making them taste like quail or pheasant delicacies.A cornish hen is a small bird, slightly over one pound each, a cross between a cornish heritage breed and a plymouth rock chicken, bred for their tender breast meat. The wild rice and sage and raisins give flavor to the breast meat, the crust locks in the juiciness.Serve on bed of wild rice pilaf, recipe below.

Elephant Garlic is large and mild and juicy, one bulb fills the cavity of a whole 22 ounce rock hen on the rotisserie in the airfryer, with just enough room left for two pickled lemon wedges.Serve with half pound baked Idaho potatoes stuffed with the garlic from the cavity, greek yoghurt and chopped mexican green onion, a 30 minute gourmet dinner.Some body asked, I use the Aria Ariawave 36 quart airfryer from Home Depot, black, $209 delivered overnight.

I wanted to incorporate the flavors of wild fruits, nuts, and syrups into a juicy well done hen.

2nd time around on this delicious "fried" hen. First time used chopped garlic and kept getting stuck in the syringe so decided to switch to garlic powder when I had a chance to make again. Less frustration and just as tasty!

A whole young, tender small cornish hen makes a great soup dinner for one, with a special flavorfull chicken broth called consommé.With these tender chickens, they are poached whole in boiling water, two hours,browned whole, then simmered longer and more delicately because of their tender taste, then deboned and served with soup vegetables and rice to make a Sunday delicacy.The meat, rice and jullienned vegetables are eaten with fresh handmade corn tortillas or fresh baked sour dough bread as a second course.Here is the family recipe.#globalcookpadgames2024

I make this dish in single portion pies, they freeze well for months and can be reheated quickly for unexpected guests or if you dont have time to cook. One tasty full meal in ten minutes from the microwave. Using fresh chicken thighs gives the richest chicken flavor. Using a local special dough, California-Armenian pan pizza dough, makes a delicious pie. And quick.

A duck has over one pound of lean duck breasts, perfect for a special dinner for two. The sauce is a thick shallot cream sauce with mild green peppercorns and a good california brandy.The breasts are marinated, then quickly sauteed in a cast iron skillet, rested to cook inside. Served with small french fingerling whole potatoes cooked in their skin, fried thai eggplant, sweet pepper.

A pheasant is a beautiful small bird, barely enough meat for dinner for two, but definitely one of the most special candle dinners you can make. Hunting season is now till Christmas in Califonia. Or, you can buy two dozen pheasant chicks in early spring for $5 a piece, fully grown 8 months later, by winter.Escape artists, they love an 8’ tall aviary that has rosemary shrubs, climbing roses and corn planted inside to hide in, and you need to make a double door entry to keep them locked in.Jumbo ringnecks are the best for cooking. Delicious with wild rice, apple chutney and oyster mushrooms.Pheasant meat is gamey and dry, but stays moist and tender if slathered in and out with garlic truffle butter and then skillet fried with the lid on to keep them from drying out.You can also order a whole freshly butchered pheasant on line for $15 to $20, shipped UPS ground, arrives frozen four days later. Amazing service.Or…. You can buy a cornish rock hen for $4 and follow my encrusted rock hen recipe, they look like pheasants when baked this way, see below.#GoldenApron23

Some have called this "million dollar chicken", but I don't like that moniker. Cornish hens are roasted over top of sliced baguette in a Dutch oven to catch all the juices, turning the bread into a sort of dressing. The creamy topping and sauce to the chicken is tart and rich and provides a wonderful contrast. 1 Cornish hen per person if hungry or 1/2 a hen per person.

This is cookpad member Zsofias hungarian meat stuffed pancake recipe made with california farm ingredients. She calls it hortobagyi husos palacsintas. I call it delicious, because it was. Zsofia, köszönöm, thank you.I used the breastmeat from a whole young frozen chicken, deboned, ribs removed, ended up with over a pound of meat, skin included.Note: this recipe calls for paprika paste. There is lots of salt in Hungarian paprika paste, so I did not add salt. And hungarian chicken bouillion cubes called Maggi tyjukhusleves have lots more salt than american cubes, so I used Knorr chicken bouillion.Also, Hungarian flour has 80% more protein than american all purpose flour and 30% more protein than my farm made spelt flour, so I made my 10% protein spelt flour and added 3% protein with wheat gluten powder to arrive at 13% protein hungarian flour.Hungarian sour cream is twice as thick as american sour cream. So I mixed half sour cream with half fresh heavy cream.And, the real secret is the chicken. There are only 900 Hungarian Golden chickens in North America, mostly in Canada, not available for sale, but you can make your own chicken taste like them by soaking your cut up chicken pieces in buttermilk for half an hour.#GlobalApron24

Mama goose laid her first spring egg this week, 6 ounces, 171 grams, my dog got it before I did. I lured mama goose in her goose run with whole corn and chopped carrots and locked the gate, so she can build a nest in peace, and hiss at me and the dog when we get close. She will now lay 30 or more eggs next 30 days.To use chicken eggs for these recipes, replace one goose egg with 3 large chicken eggs. One goose egg is as big as three chicken eggs, and the yolk alone is 2 ounces.Here are my proven goose egg recipes, we preserve these egg yokes and enjoy them year round. Egg whites go into salads and dogfood.
