      Title: Game Hens w/Rhubarb Barbecue Glaze
 Categories: Poultry, Bbq, Vegetables, Fruits, Pasta
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      3    (1 1/2 lb ea) Cornish game
           - hens
           Olive oil
           Salt & pepper
      4 c  Chopped fresh or frozen
           - rhubarb
      1 c  Bottled tomato-based
           - barbecue sauce
    1/4 c  Water
      8 oz Dried orzo
      1 c  Shredded carrots
    1/4 c  Sliced green onions
           Salt & pepper
 
  Preheat the oven to 375ºF/190ºC.
  
  Use a long, heavy knife or kitchen shears to halve Cornish
  hens lengthwise, cutting through the breast bone, just
  off-center, and through the center of the backbone. (Or
  ask the butcher to cut hens in halves.) Twist wing tips
  under back. Rub the olive oil over the surface and in the
  cavity of each hen half, then sprinkle generously with
  salt and pepper. Place hen halves, cut side down, in a
  15x10x1-inch baking pan. Roast, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
  
  Meanwhile, for sauce, in a medium saucepan bring the
  rhubarb, barbecue sauce, and water to boiling over
  medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook,
  covered, for 20 minutes or until the rhubarb loses its
  shape. Remove from the heat and coarsely mash the rhubarb
  in the pan. Remove and reserve 1 cup of the sauce for the
  orzo mixture.
  
  Brush the surface of the game hens with some of the
  remaining sauce. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes more, brushing
  every 5 minutes, or until hens are glazed, tender, no
  longer pink, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in
  thigh muscle registers 180 degree F.
  
  Meanwhile, cook orzo according to package directions;
  drain. Transfer orzo to a large bowl. Stir in the 1 cup
  reserved sauce, shredded carrots, and green onions. Season
  to taste with salt and pepper. Serve orzo mixture mounded
  on a large platter and topped with game hen halves. Pass
  the remaining sauce.
  
  Makes 6 servings.
