Nothing sets a holiday table like serving game hens or cornish hens to your guests. These small birds are perfect single-servings and make a great presentation. But these hens don't have to be cooked with a standard chicken recipe. Home Cuisine's Mae Pike shows a simple preparation with root vegetables.

2 teaspoons grated Myer Lemon peel
Thin slices of Myer Lemons
2 Cornish game hens
1 1/2 tablespoons Olive Oil
