Ingredients
For the marinade
For the stuffing
Preheat the oven to 180°C/355°F/Gas mark 4. Wash the poussins and pat dry with kitchen paper.
To make the marinade, put the garlic, coriander and soy sauce in a blender or food processor, and purée until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Rub the marinade mixture evenly into the skin of the poussins.
Place a stalk of lemon grass, a lime leaf and a piece of ginger in the cavity of each poussin. Put the poussins in a roasting tin, and brush lightly with the coconut milk. Roast for about 30 minutes in the oven.
Remove from the oven, brush again with coconut milk, return to the oven and cook for a further 15–25 minutes until golden and cooked through, depending on the size of the poussins. The juices should run clear when the thickest part of the thigh is pierced with a skewer.
Serve the poussins on a bed of wild rice with the pan juices poured over.
