Marinated Shell Beans
Method
Preparation
Marinate the Cornish Hens
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the Cornish hens, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Prepare the Shell Beans
If using dried shell beans, soak them overnight and cook until tender. In a bowl, combine the cooked beans with finely chopped red onion, red wine vinegar, chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Serve
Once the Cornish hens are cooked, let them rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve on a platter topped with the marinated shell beans.
