2 or 3 grass buds                                                                        1/2 cup chopped parsley
                2 tablespoons cooking oil                                                           approx. 3 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
                2 Cornish hens                                                                           1 1/2 cups orange juice
                paprika, sage and pepper

                  Chop grass buds and mix with oil.

                 Let mixture sit 1 hour.

                 Rub hens inside and out with paprika and any other preferred spices
                                                 (do not use salt- it toughens the skin of the hens). Measure out spices
                                                 for the stuffing, add to parsley and mix into grass/oil mixture evenly.
                                                 Take breadcrumbs and sprinkle with orange juice while stirring constantly.

                 Crumbs should be moist. Add oil/spice mixture to breadcrumbs and
                                                 toss like a salad until evenly distributed. Stuff hens loosely and seal ends (truss)
                                                 with toothpicks or string.

                 Cover and bake at 300 degrees F. for 30 minutes.

                Continue to bake uncovered for 15 minutes to brown hens.
