Zubereitung von Game Hens With Cardamom And Oregano
- Lightly crush 2 cardamom pods to release the husks.
- Using a mortar and pestle, crush the cardamom seeds until fragrant.
- Add 2 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon dried oregano to the mortar.
- Grind the mixture until well combined.
- Stir in 3 tablespoons olive oil and continue grinding until a smooth paste forms.
- Rub ¾ of the paste all over 2 game hens (about 1 pound each).
- Mix the remaining paste with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Pour over the hens, reserving a tablespoon for basting.
- Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or up to 8 hours, turning occasionally.
- Preheat grill to high heat.
- Season the hens generously with freshly ground black pepper.
- Place hens on the hot grill, searing until the skin is golden brown and slightly crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Watch for flare-ups and adjust accordingly.
- Move the hens to a cooler part of the grill (indirect heat).
- Continue grilling, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), about 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from grill, let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
