- Bring the broth to a boil in a large saucepan. Stir in the couscous and figs. Cover the pan, remove from the heat, and let stand 5 min. Fluff the couscous with a fork. Add in the lemon rind and green onions and stir with a fork. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Let stuffing cold completely.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Throw away excess fat from the hens.
- Rub hens with pepper, then spoon 1/3 to 1/2 c. stuffing into each hen, packing it in gently. Reserve remaining stuffing mix at room temperature.
- Set the hens in a small roasting pan or possibly shallow baking dish just large sufficient to contain them. Roast the hens, basting 2 or possibly 3 times, for 45 min or possibly till the thickest part of a drumstick is tender when pierced with a skewer and juices which run from drumstick are clear; if juices are pink, roast hens for a few more min and check again. During roasting, add in 2 Tbsp. warm water to pan juices if they brown.
- To serve, spoon the stuffing from the hens onto a paltter. Cut each hen in half lengthwise with poultry shears. Arrange the pcs over stuffing on platter or possibly plates. Cover and keep hot.
- Heat the remaining stuffing mix in a medium skillet over low heat, stirring gently with a fork, about 2 min; or possibly heat it in a covered dish in the microwave. Serve in a separate heated dish.
