Vinegar-marinated Cornish Hen with vegetables

[neotoma]

Take :

1 Cornish Hen
1 cup (ish) of the herbed vinegar twistedchick gave me -- flavored with shiso (red Korean basil), lemon balm and sage
white pepper
sage
1 tsp brown sugar
1 small onion
chervil
minced garlic
purified water

Put it all in a bowl, so that the hen is covered. Marinate overnight.

Place hen and about half the marinade in a pan and roast in oven at 450 degrees F for 40 minutes with carrots and potatoes.

The hen came apart beautiful, was tasty, and hopefully the carcass will make an interesting stock tomorrow.

Hey, glad it worked! I still have more vinegar for when you run out, and I hope to make a lot more this summer, depending on how the shiso comes up in the yard. No worries about lemon balm. :)

That is one happy hen.
