Cornish Game Hens in Tomato Bay Leaf Sauce

Two Cornish game hens fit easily in my clay pot.  I served them with purple potatoes, salad and fragrant quinoa cooked with mint leaves.  The tomato sauce was made with canned whole tomatoes crushed by hand with whole garlic cloves, bay leaves, and white wine.  Be sure to pour yourself a glass or two while you cook.  The sauce, pre-chicken is pictured below.  The hens are also great served with baked polenta.

After you have washed and dried the hens place them in the sauce covering them with the tomatoes and bay leaves, as pictured below.

I then placed the potatoes on the top, covered the clay pot and cooked the hens for about 2 hours.
