Steps:
- Layer all of the above ingredients, in the order listed, in a 5-quart microwave-proof casserole dish. Cover and cook at 100 percent power in a 650- to 700-watt microwave carousel oven for 35 minutes, or until the Cornish hens are tender and the lentils soft. Remove from the oven.
- Remove the hens and arrange them in a heated deep serving dish. Cover with aluminum foil to keep them warm.
- Meanwhile, transfer the vegetables and their liquid to a food processor and puree. You may have to work in batches. Do not overprocess: a little texture adds to the character of the sauce. Pour the sauce over the hens. Garnish with the fresh cilantro and serve.
