Put the minced onion and garlic in a pan along with some oil.
-
When the pan starts to heat up, add in the cornish hens on top of the onion mix and cover and cook for 10 minutes on medium heat.
-
After 10 minutes, turn the cornish hens over and cover and cook for another 10 minutes.
-
By now the liquids released would start to dry out . Ensure you dry them out by cooking the hens further and then add all the spices.
-
Allow the spices to mix in, add 2 cups of water and the berries and cover and cook again for about 10 - 15 minutes, until the oil floats on top and the gravy is of the consistency you like.
