And lemon…. Remember, last post, Chicken with Lemon & Capers, I said I was doing Lemon Week. I took the smallest lemon, cut it in half and stuffed it into 2 little hens. In the US it would be a Cornish Game Hen, which is a cross between 2 breeds and normally weighs between 1 and 2 lbs, but usually about 1 1/4 (600gr) We have poussin, which is, basically. … Continue reading →
