Grilled Cornish Game Hens with Peach and Green Chile Salsa

Huzzah to this one, I say:
(2-3 servings)

2 Cornish game hens, cut lengthwise, giblets removed, rinsed well, and patted dry
1 T. cumin
1&1/2 cups OJ
1/4 cup EVOO
1 T. chili powder

Salsa:
2 med. green chiles, roasted, seeded, and chopped (or just buy a small can of diced, and drain)
1&1/2-2 T. chili powder     
1 cup honey
1 cup low sodium* chicken broth
2 peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
1 can low-sodium* black beans, drained, and rinsed well

In a bowl, whisk cumin, OJ, olive oil, and chili powder. Pour over game hens (in a shallow baking dish). Coat hens well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour - overnight is best)/ Prepare the grill; while heating, make salsa: Put green chiles, chili powder, honey, broth and peaches in saucepan. Bring to boil until salsa thickens. Add black beans and simmer 30 mins. Grill hens (oil the grate) 20-25 mins. turning occasionally, til done, basting with marinade. Serve hens with salsa and a salad of fresh mixed greens with walnuts, raspberries, goat cheese, and a Dijon vinaigrette.

Have FUN today!!
