ROASTED GAME HENS
Yield: 6 servings
 
6 Cornish game hens
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 lemons, cut into 6 quarters
1 1/2 small onions, cut into 6 quarters
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup white wine
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Rinse the game hens and pat them dry. Season the cavities with salt
and pepper and place a quarter lemon and a quarter onion in each
cavity.

Place the birds, breast side up, in a shallow roasting pan. Dot
with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour the white wine
into the pan. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the juices run
clear when the hen is pierced in the thickest part of the thigh.
Remove from the oven and serve with the pan juices spooned over
the hens.
