Instructions
- Prepare your marinade by mixing the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, chicken bouillon powder, and Noubess Hot and Spicy Mango Sauce in a bowl and set it aside.
- Prep the hens: cut up the hen into smaller pieces - same as you would if you were cutting a whole chicken. Place the pieces into a large bowl and mix with the marinade. Let marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 415 F degrees.
- Remove the Cornish hen pieces from the refrigerator and place them onto a prepared baking pan. Roast for 45 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the okra and tomatoes stew. In a large pot or Dutch oven, add oil, garlic, Noubess Hot and Spicy Mango Sauce, Herbes de Provence, tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes have started to release their juice,
- Add the onion, and whole cloves. Mix well.
- Add the okra and mix well. Let cook for about 2 - 3 minutes. Add the Cornish hen and mix well.
- Add warm water, and bring to a boil. Season to taste with more seasoning and cover. Cook for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve alone or with rice, or any other types of grains.

Notes
- Fresh ingredients are always to use when cooking.
- Serve with white rice, rice, and beans, or rice with peas. Also serve with boiled plantains, boiled potatoes, or boiled yams.
- You can also use a green or fresh seasoning blend instead of the Herbs de Provence or Italian seasoning.
- Using tomato paste of tomato puree is optional.
- Any leftover, store in a glass or BPA free plastic container with a lid.
- Best to roast the cornish hens instead of frying them. Roasting is healthier than frying.
