2 tablespoons orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, in all
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon drained capers
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 squab (1 1/2 pound each), split, back bone removed
1/2 pound haricots verts, blanched al dente, cooked until tender and cooled under cold water
For the Tomato Relish:
2 lovely ripe tomatoes, seeded, cored and medium diced, all juices reserved
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon finely minced shallots
1/2 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped orange zest
Salt and pepperPreheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine orange juice, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, garlic, brown sugar, capers, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well and place the four pieces of squab into the marinade. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Meanwhile, make the tomato relish. In a small bowl, combine tomatoes and reserved juices with sugar, shallots, thyme, orange zest, and season with salt and pepper and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix well and set aside.
In a medium non stick oven proof saute pan heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Remove the squab from the marinade and pat dry. Place the squab into the pan, skin side down first. Sear for 4 minutes and turn. Turn off the heat and add the marinade. Place the pan into the oven and cook for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl toss together the green beans with salt and pepper and the remaining olive oil. Divide onto two entree plates, making a mound in the center of the plate. Place two squab halves on each mound of beans. Top with a generous spoonful of the tomato relish, making sure to get some of the juices.
