"This recipe was delicious. I highly recommend it. Add some figs and walnuts to the stuffing. Also, if you put some olive oil, figs, balsamic and soy sauce in a pan first and fry it for about 5 minutes, then put the scrapings/figs over the hens with paprika and rosemary, it will cook faster and taste even more delicious."
