2 tbsp olive oil

1 salt & pepper
1 cup onions, chopped
2 leeks, small cubes
1 tbsp garlic, finely chopped
2 cup plum tomato, skinless, cubed

1/2 cup wine, white, dry
1 cup chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 tsp saffron threads
1 tabasco

Recipe Preparation
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the pieces of
Cornish hen in 1 layer. Sprinkle the pieces with salt and pepper.
When the oil becomes hot, add the pieces, skin side down. cook over
medium- high heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Turn and
cook 5 minutes more. Add the onions, leeks, and garlic, and cook,
stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives,
thyme, wine, chicken broth, bay leaf, saffron, Tabasco, salt and
pepper.
Stir and scrape the bottom of the skillet to dissolve any brown
particles on the bottom. Cover closely, and simmer 10 minutes. Remove
the thyme sprigs and bay leaf. If there is too much liquid, reduce
the sauce a bit. Sprinkle with basil and serve with mixed vegetables.
