Recipe - Cornish Hen Casserole

4 Cornish hens
1/3 cup Butter or margarine
One half teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Onion or garlic salt
One fourth teaspoon Black pepper
4 tablespoon Parsley; chopped
1 cup White wine
3 Firm tomatoes; peeled, minced
6 Green onions; chopped
1 cup Sour cream

Select medium sized birds weighing about 1One half pounds each. If frozen,
thaw. Remove giblets; boil until tender. Mix soft butter with seasonings;
spread birds with the mixture. Mash the cooked livers with parsley; place a
generous spoonful in the cavity of each bird. Place birds in a shallow
casserole; roast in a hot oven, 400 degrees for 35 minutes, pouring white
wine over the birds. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue cooking until
tender, about 30 to 35 minutes. Baste once or twice with juice in the pan.
Add tomatoes and green onions; cook 10 minutes. Just before serving, blend
sour cream into pan gravy and heat through. Serve at once, one bird per
person. Serves 4.
