1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 large shallot, minced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons honey
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 Cornish game hens, halved lengthwise

Whisk together the mustard, shallot, lime juice, honey and pepper. Brush over both sides of the hens, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Light a grill or preheat the broiler. Grill or broil 4 inches from the source of heat for 30 minutes, turning frequently, until juices run clear when hen is probed with a tip of a sharp knife. 4 servings.
