Ingredients(4)

Cornish hen without giblets134.0 g
Broadbeans (fava beans), mature seeds, raw90.8 g
Spanish style riced cauliflower with poblano peppers, tomatoes, and onions250g
Barley, pearled, raw15g

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the Cornish hen generously with salt and Aleppo pepper.

2

In a small heavy-bottomed oven-proof pot, sear the hen over medium-high heat until the skin is deeply golden and crackles. Remove hen, then add the aromatics (Spanish style riced cauliflower mix) to the pan to pick up the drippings.

3

Add the fava beans and barley, stirring for 2 minutes until fragrant and coated.

4

Nestle the hen back into the pan, cover, and transfer to the oven. Braise for 25 minutes or until the meat is tender and the juices run clear.

5

Remove the lid for the final 5 minutes to crisp the skin.

6

Plating: Place the hen over the bed of braised barley and cauliflower. Spoon the sauce and fava beans around the dish, finishing with a final sprinkle of Aleppo pepper for a vibrant, smoky heat.
