Grilled Herbed PoussinsMikkel Vang

An herb paste smeared onto these birds adds a concentrated taste of summer; this works nicely with the poussins, since they're small enough to cook through before the herbs can threaten to burn.

Cooks' notes:

•Poussins can be rubbed with herb paste 1 day ahead and chilled.
•To cook poussins indoors, brown them as above in a hot large ridged grill pan over medium-high heat, then cover with an inverted roasting pan. Reduce heat to medium and cook about 18 minutes.
