Roasted Game Hens With Sweet Corn Salsa

God sanctifies us though our trials. It’s been said, the same boiling water will soften a potato, but harden an egg. Trials don’t naturally shape our hearts, but our response to them will make us either bitter or better. What is the Gospel-centered response to trials? To live the crucified life with our Savior. Growing in humility. Becoming less and He becomes greater in us. It’s making a name for Jesus and not ourselves. It’s finding greater identity with Him. In Philippians 3:10 Paul said, “That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings.”

INSTRUCTIONS

For the Sweet Corn Salsa, mix together well the corn kernels, onion,
garlic, and red peppers in a medium nonreactive bowl. Add the lime
juice, lemon juice, and olive oil and mix. Add the cumin, jalapeno
peppers, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set
aside for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend.  Meanwhile,
preheat the oven to 375 degrees and prepare the hens.  Place the hens
in a large roasting pan and rub them all over with the  cut halves of
the lime. Drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle over the  chile powder
and cumin and season them to taste with salt and pepper.  Roast for 20
to 25 minutes, or until the hens reach an internal  temperature of 155
degrees. Allow the hens to rest for 2 to 3 minutes  before carving.
Spoon the Sweet Corn Salsa onto a serving platter and arrange the
carved game hens on top. Serve immediately.  Serves four.  Converted by
