Cornish Game Hens with Vegetables
I am posting this not because it is a creative dish, but because the cost of the ingredients are next to nothing. The cornish game hens are always on sale at Winco (at least here)for less than two dollars each, and the vegetables you probably already have on hand. With the current economy, who doesn't want more ideas for ways to save?
-Two Game Hens (one per adult if you are serving more)
-salt and pepper
-olive oil
-your favorite seasonings.
-two large handfuls of baby carrots
-4 red potatoes, quartered
-1/2 white onion, chopped
-1 celery stick, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Boil potatoes and carrots for no more than five minutes, drain. Place potatoes and carrots in a bowl with the onion and celery, toss. Spray or coat baking dish with olive oil. Place the game hens, centered, in the dish. Arrange the vegetables around the hens in the dish.
Lightly sprinkle the ingredients with olive oil, salt and pepper, and seasoning. I used pasta seasoning and anise. I think thyme or rosemary would be delicious. Bake until vegetables are soft and hens are golden brown.
