Ingredients

3 Cornish hens, seasoned with Adobo

2 tablespoons light olive oil

4 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped

1 cup tamarind pulp

1 cup chicken stock

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

3 tablespoons each chopped cilantro and scallion for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Bake the Cornish hens for 30 minutes, or until the juices run clear when the breast is pricked with a fork. While the hens are baking, heat the oil in a skillet and saute the garlic for 5 minutes over medium heat. Set aside. In a blender or food processor, combine the tamarind pulp, chicken stock, and sugar. Set 1/2 cup of the liquid aside and dissolve the cornstarch in it. Bring the remaining liquid to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and mix a small amount with the reserved cornstarch mixture. Pour all liquid back into the pan, put the pan back on the stove, and cook over medium-low heat until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. When the hens are done, cut each in half and pour sauce over it. Garnish with cilantro and scallion

This sounds incredible & a recipe I'm definately going to try. What is Adobo? Is it a seasoning I can mix up myself. '5' from me.

Thanks, chefbori!! I love tamarind, and never knew how to cook/prepare before. In my pantry I have a block 5X6" and 1 inch or so thick labelled tamarind. I think it is from thailand. Do I break off chunks and whirl in processor with liquid?
Also, what is adobo? I have a little can called "chipotle in adobo" and it is scary hot to the taste buds!! I froze the stuff in ice cubes, and use it , 1/3 or less of the ice cube!! Is that your "adobo"?
thanks for your help!!
