Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Notes
To remove the seeds from a pomegranate, cut off the crown of the fruit. Score the skin in quarters and transfer the fruit to a bowl of cold water. Working in the water, peel off the skin and remove the seeds from the membranes; discard the skin and membranes as you go. Drain the seeds.
Suggested Pairing
Look for a juicy Beaujolais-Villages wine, which enhances the taste of the game hens without overpowering the garnish.
