Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon unsalted butter; 2 tablespoons minced shallot; 1 teaspoon minced garlic; 1 (10 ounce) package button mushrooms, finely chopped; 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided; ground white pepper to taste; 1/3 cup toasted walnuts; 3 tablespoons dry white wine; 4 Cornish game hens; 1 teaspoon paprika; 1 teaspoon onion powder; 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 4 sprigs fresh thyme

Servings: persons

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (10 ounce) package button mushrooms, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
ground white pepper to taste
1/3 cup toasted walnuts
3 tablespoons dry white wine
4 Cornish game hens
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh thyme

1
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and garlic; cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and white pepper. Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring often, until moisture has evaporated and mushrooms start to brown, about 12 minutes.
2
Stir walnuts and white wine into the skillet. Cook, scraping browned bits off the bottom of the skillet, until wine has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, 10 to 15 minutes.
3
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4
Season Cornish hens inside and out with remaining 1 teaspoon salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Open cavities gently with your fingers; stuff with mushroom mixture. Pull skin back in place to cover stuffing. Place hens breast side-up in a roasting pan.
5
Roast in the preheated oven, basting once or twice with juices from the pan, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 180 degrees F (82 degrees C), about 45 minutes. Garnish with thyme sprigs.
