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.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this recipe did not turn out well for me. The hens were tough and the rice pilaf was bland.

I would recommend using a different type of rice for the pilaf. I found that the long-grain rice was a bit too dry.
