Cornish Game Hen Tandoori

I love cornish game hen! It taste just like chicken only much smaller. This simple and bursting with flavor recipe is a friend's favorite for chicken skewers. Her recipe actually calls for more ingredients like minced garlic and ginger. Add those if you like but here's my modified version which taste just as yummy:

Ingredients:
2 cornish game hen (cut into halves)
2 tbsp coriander powder
2 tbsp tumeric powder
2 tbsp seasoned salt
1 cup plain greek yogurt or plain yogurt

Pinch of ground pepper

PUT EVERYTHING IN A ZIPLOC BAG  (better to put all the ingredients before chicken and you might need 2 ziploc bags if the chicken are slightly bigger than usual)

Massage marinade all over chicken

Let it sit overnight in the fridge or toss them in the freezer for next time

Cooking:

Heat oven to 400 degrees

Bake for 20 minutes

Reduce oven to 325 degree

Bake another 25 minutes

When chicken juice runs clear, change to BROIL HIGH for 7 minutes or until skin turn brown and crispy

Let chicken sit for 10 minutes. Serve with brown rice or my favorite couscous and millet, and grilled zucchini and squash. 

Super easy, quick, healthy and taste delish!

PS. Take out your frozen game hen tandoori in the morning so it will be ready for the oven in the evening.

Flax seed oil with soy sauce

One of the simplest sauce combination and such a crowd pleaser. All you need is Organic Flax Seed oil and regular soy sauce. We normally use Kikkoman brand soy sauce. You can get flaxseed oil from your local health or gourmet store, Trader Joe's or WholeFoods. Just drizzle flax seed oil onto a small dipping bowl followed by your choice of soy sauce. The result is an unexpected buttery, egg-y tastiness. Heaven.


If you have a toddler who won't eat his vegetables, be prepared to be blown away the next time you serve this combo. In this photo, I have blanched brocollini and sugar snap peas. If you're concern about soy sauce for your munchkins, substitute with braggs liquid aminos, a certified non-gmo protein concentrate. Taste the same. And better for health.


For meat eaters, you have to try it. Once again, just drizzle flax seed oil straight from the bottle, from the fridge onto your perfectly grilled steak or chicken and add soy sauce. Trust me. You've never tasted meat like this. 

Such simple recipes is what I am dedicated to sharing on this blog. Enjoy! And please don't forget to leave your comments :)
