Here's a fantastic Mediterranean-style alternative for your festive holiday feasts. Dried herbs, Pernod wine (or any suitable white) and citrus notes turn this easy slow-cooker roast into a feast for the senses. If you've never cooked with Cornish hens, don't worry. It's no different than preparing other kinds of poultry. Serve with roasted or sauteed asparagus for a light yet satisfying meal.
