1/2 cup 1/4"-diced celery
1/2 cup grated carrot
2 tablespoons orange zest
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

5 oz. uncooked couscous (half a box)
1/2 cup chopped almonds

In a 1-quart sauce pan, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and heat for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, celery, carrots, orange zest, 1 teaspoon cumin, chopped parsley and the chicken broth. Bring to a boil and mix in the couscous. Cover and turn off the burner. Let set for 5 minutes and mix in the chopped almonds.

Remove the Cornish game hens from the package and rinse under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel. Place the 4 hens in a glass baking dish.

Stuff the 4 hens with the couscous stuffing. Squeeze the orange juice over the 4 hens and season with 1 teaspoon of cumin and the black pepper.

Place in a preheated 350 degree oven and roast for 1 hour or until the juices run clear.
