Cornish Hens With Rice Pilaf image

A recipe we've enjoyed for years. All you need is a salad and you've got a great meal. Note that one bird serves two people. We are old dudes, so if you have younger, heartier appetites you may want to adjust the recipe accordingly----both the hens and the pilaf.
