  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2                    Cornish game hens, 1 1/2 pounds apiece -- split
lengthwise
     1/4  cup           olive oil
     1/3  cup           white wine vinegar
   4      cloves        garlic -- minced
   3      tablespoons   cilantro or parsley -- chopped
   3      tablespoons   honey
   3      tablespoons   soy sauce
   1      tablespoon    ground ginger
     1/4  teaspoon      crushed red pepper flakes
          dash          pepper

Place hens in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow glass container.  Add
remaining ingredients (up to 2 tablespoons ground ginger); seal or cover and
refrigerate for at least 1 hour.  Remove hens, reserving marinade. Place hens
in a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. disposable aluminum pan.  Pour marinade over
hens; cover pan.  Grill, covered, over medium-hot coals, basting frequently,
for 35-40 minutes or until juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads 170
degrees. Place hens directly over coals for the last 3-4 minutes of cooking
time, turning once.  Yield: 4 servings.
