Cornish Hen in Port Wine and Fig Preserves

This elegant Cornish hen with port wine and fig preserves offers a sophisticated twist on a classic roast.

Fragrant rosemary adds a subtle woody note, balancing the fruity sweetness of this dairy-free main course.

Ideal for a special weekend dinner or a stress-free dinner party, this dish requires minimal preparation before the slow cooker takes over. The combination of sweet and savoury flavours makes it a wonderful choice for autumn or winter dining. Serve it alongside roasted root vegetables or a crisp green salad for a balanced and impressive homemade meal.
