  • 2 Cornish game hens, about 1
  • -1/3 pounds each
  • 4 Shallots sliced
  • 2 Garlic cloves, sliced

Split open the game hens from the breast side and flatten them out

for 3 minutes on each side.

Process the shallots, garlic, coriander, chile, ginger, turmeric,
salt, lime juice and 1/2 cup of the coconut milk to a smooth sauce.
Marinate the hens in the sauce for 15 minutes.

Put the hens in a large skillet and cook over moderate heat for 10
minutes uncovered. Then add the remaining coconut milk and the lemon
grass. Bring to a boil and cook for 30 minutes, basting occasionally,
until the hens are tender and almost all the liquid has evaporated.

Serve warm.
