      Title: Grilled Cornish Game Hens W/Lemon, Sumac, & Date Relish
 Categories: Poultry, Citrus, Fruits
      Yield: 8 servings
 
      9 c  Water
      1 c  Fresh lemon juice; divided
    1/2 c  Coarse kosher salt
      5    Cornish game hens; halved
           - lengthwise, backbone
           - removed
    1/2 c  Olive oil
      2 tb Ground sumac *
      4 cl Garlic; peeled
     10    Very thin lemon slices
           Date Relish
 
  This recipe yields two extra portions for second helpings.
  The hens are brined for at least six hours, so be sure to
  plan ahead. To make things easier, ask the butcher to halve
  the hens for you.
  
  Combine 9 cups water, 1/2 cup lemon juice, and coarse salt
  in large nonreactive pot. Stir until salt dissolves. Add hen
  halves and press to submerge. Refrigerate hens in brine,
  weighing down with heavy plate if needed, at least 6 hours
  and up to 1 day.
  
  Whisk 1/2 cup lemon juice, oil, and sumac in medium bowl.
  Press in garlic cloves; season with pepper. Let dressing
  stand 15 minutes to thicken slightly, whisking occasionally.
  
  Drain hens. Pat dry with paper towels; arrange on large
  rimmed baking sheet. Using fingertips, loosen skin of breast
  meat on each hen half. Brush some dressing under skin on to
  breast meat of each hen; place lemon slice onto breast meat
  and pull skin over to cover. Brush hens all over with
  remaining dressing.
  
  DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temp.
  
  Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat).
  
  Place hens, skin side up, on grill rack. Cover and grill
  until bottom sides are brown, about 8 minutes. Turn hens
  over; grill uncovered until skin sides brown, about 6 mins.
  Continue to grill until hens are cooked through, turning
  occasionally, about 9 minutes longer. Transfer hens to
  platter. Serve with Date Relish.
  
  * Ground, dried, reddish-purple berries that grow wild
  through out the Middle East; available at specialty foods
  stores and Middle Eastern markets.
