6		Cornish game hens
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1 1/2		Lemons - cut 6 quarters
1 1/2		Onions - cut 6 quarters (small)
6 tablespoons	90ml	Butter - softened

1/4 cup	59ml	Asian five spice powder

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Rinse the game hens and pat them dry. Season the cavities with salt and pepper and place a quarter lemon and a quarter onion in each cavity.

In a small bowl, combine the butter, ginger and five spice powder. Rub the five spice mixture onto the hens. Place the birds, breast-side up, in a shallow roasting pan. Pour the white wine into the pan.

Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the juices run clear when the hen is pierced in the thickest part of the thigh. Remove from the oven and serve with the pan juices spooned over the hens.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
