Cornish game hens and wild rice! At the store, get two game hens, a
box of Uncle Ben's Wild Rice, and salad greens and dressing. At home,
clean the salad greens and refrigerate. Chill the salad dressing, but
don't put on the greens until you are ready to serve the salad. Pre-
heat the oven to 350. Clean the game hens (don't forget to empty the
giblets from the cavity!), put about a teaspoon of salt in the cavity
of each hen, and put in the oven to roast for an hour and a half.
(The wrapper may say one hour, but they really need more time to be
thoroughly cooked.) Follow the directions on the Uncle Ben's box, but
don't start that until the birds are in the oven, and figure the
timing so the birds and rice will be done at the same time. When the
birds are out of the oven and the rice is ready, toss the salad. To
serve, put the wild rice on a platter and put the birds on top of the
rice. This is a very attractive dinner, very simple to make, easy to
clean up, uses only one serving dish, and YOU don't have to carve a
bird!
