BBQ Five-Spice Cornish Game Hens
Ingredients
* 4 Cornish game hens (14 ounces -each)
* 4 Garlic cloves
* 2 Shallots, or 3 green onions, -white part only
* 1 1/2 tb Sugar
* 1/2 ts Salt
* 1/4 ts Black pepper
* 1/2 ts Five spice powder
* 1 1/2 tb Vietnamese fish sauce -(nouc mam)
* 1 1/2 tb Light soy sauce
* 1 1/2 tb Dry sherry
Directions
This aromatic barbecued game hen can be easily served West- ern style with rice, cole slaw or a green salad. [But it would be better with Thai cucumber salad or Vietnamese carrot salad. Mmmm... S.C.]
Halve the hens through the breast. Flatten with the palm of your hand.
In a mortar or food processor, pound or mince garlic, shallots and sugar. Add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Pour mixture over hens; marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in refrigerator.
Set hens, skin-side down, on grill and barbecue over medium coals for 15 minutes. Turn and barbecue 15 minutes longer or until they are thoroughly cooked. Serve with Nuoc Cham dipping
