For Christmas Eve this year there were a number of requests to not serve ham or turkey or prime rib but to do something a little different. I had a sudden idea that Cornish Game Hens would be fun since I only had 6 for dinner, and using a fruit and couscous stuffing was a nice break from traditional sage and bread dressing we had on Thanksgiving. The couscous in this recipe is great on its own or as a cold salad. And if you have a vegetarian joining your dinner party swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth and grill a few nice large veggies (portabellas, squash and eggplant) and place on a bed the couscous for them and they will be just as happy as the carnivores eating game hen.
