Pesto is a sauce made with basil, parsley, garlic, olive oil and Parmesan cheese. If you're looking for a shortcut, you might be able to find ready-made Pesto in your supermarket.
2 fresh Cornish game hens
1/4 cup olive or salad oil
1/4 cup minced fresh basil or 1 tablespoon dried basil
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
1 can (8-ounces) minced clams, drained
2 tablespoons dry white wine (optional)
Halve hens lengthwise and remove backbones. Place 1 half on each of four 14-inch squares of heavy duty aluminum foil. Turn up edges of foil.
In bowl, blend oil, basil, parsley, cheese, garlic and salt. Add clams and wine. Divide among packets, spooning over hens. Bring two opposite sides of foil together and close packets securely using several folds and turning up ends to seal. Cook 4 to 6 inches above hot coals, 30 to 40 minutes, until cooked through, turning packets twice. Packets may also be baked at 400oF for about 30 minutes.
