Instructions
- Add the onions and garlic to the pan and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
- While they are sautéing, process the walnuts and mint in a food processor until the walnuts are finely ground. Stop, take a moment to smell the walnut/mint mixture. It is outrageous. Now add this mixture to the pan with the onions and garlic.
- Next, add the tomato paste, wine and 1 cup of water to the pan and stir together. Return the hens to the pan, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Turn the hens over and continue simmering until the hens are cooked through, about 20 minutes more.
- The recipe in Bon Appetite called for removing the hens and keeping warm on a platter covered with tin foil and then reducing the liquids in the pan to create a sauce consistency. I found that this was not necessary and the onion/garlic/walnut/mint was ready to use as a sauce.
- We served this dish with couscous and green beans so I plated a hen halve on top of a mound of couscous and poured the sauce on top. The beans were plated on the side. It not only looked and smelled great, the flavor was incredible.
Notes
- What to do with leftovers?
- I'm a big fan of preparing meals that yield great leftovers so I don't have to start from scratch the next night. With this dish, I removed the meat from the leftover hens and added it to the remaining sauce.
- The next night I added a little olive oil to the sauce, heated it up and served it over pappardelle (a long ribbon pasta measuring 6 - 10 inches and anywhere from 1/2 - 1 inch wide). I'm not sure it wasn't even better than the night before.
- As Tony Soprano might say, "Forget about it."
