Instructions: Blue Corn Chorizo Dressing: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook the chorizo, garlic, celery, onion, carrot and poblano for 3 minutes or until lightly browned.

Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the cornbread, thyme, sage, cilantro, egg and stock and mix well. Place in 12- by 15-inch baking pan and bake for 25 minutes.

Cranberry Mango Relish: In a hot skillet combine cranberries and brown sugar, cook until berries start to pop. Add all other ingredients, except cilantro, and heat, (add a spoon of water if sauce appears dry). Just before serving, toss in the cilantro.

Hens: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a hot roasting pan, melt the butter and oil. Season the hens with salt and pepper to taste and sear until browned all over.

Place, breast-side down in the pan and roast for approximately 12 to 14 minutes. Check for doneness by seeing if juices run clear when bird is tipped. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Plate hens alongside of the dressing and serve with the relish.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
