Sprinkle salt and pepper pver everything.

Roast for 8 minutes. Move hens around and turn vegetables with a wooden spatula so they won't stick.

Put pan over low heat, add the wine and tomatoes, and cook 1 minute. Add olives and cook 2 minutes over high heat, scraping any crisp bits with a wooden spoon. Taste for salt and pepper. Put warm sauce over heans and serve.
