Place the hen and pork in a bowl. Add the capsicum, spring onion, bay leaf, garlic, thyme and beer. Drain.

Carefully saw the skin of the hen, leaving a small hole on one end. Mix the rice mixture with the hen-pork mixture. Spoon this into the cavity of the hen. Tie hen legs together and place bird breast side up on a roasting rack in an oiled baking tray.

Hot Tips

Ethiopian Injera

Injera, the Ethiopian pancake-style bread is traditionally made with teff (a native wheat). Teff flour may be available at good health food stores, however if you can’t find it, substitute buckwheat, which does not taste exactly like injera but is similar in texture and colour.

Glossary

Hominy

Hominy is dried white corn which is used to make a much loved dish called Pozole. Some small restaurants in Mexico serve only this dish.
