It's Friday again - can't you hear the birds singing and smell the hope and joy in the air as the weekend beckons ever nearer?
This week's French Friday with Dorie challenge was Olive-Olive Cornish Hens (in my case, poussin) - little birds butterflied and with their skins stuffed with homemade olive tapenade (green, in my case), olive-oiled and seasoned to perfection, and roasted until their skins are crispy and the tapenade flavour has melded into the bird. Bliss!
I served my hens with asparagus roasted with lemon and salt, good old mixed vegetables out of a packet, and wild lime pickle - devine:
Look at how wonderful and crisp the outside is and how tender the meat is:
It oddly reminded me of my Mum's Sunday roast, though there was never any olives in my mother's house.
