Slivered almonds, mushrooms, and long-grain rice are toasted in butter and steeped in lemon-brightened bouillon before they ever go near the birds. Spooned into Cornish hens and roasted until golden, the filling emerges fluffy and nutty, perfumed with lemon. It is an elegant, old-school way to turn small birds into a quietly impressive supper for two or four.
