Instructions:
Instructions: Preheat 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 this 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 of the 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.

This recipe yields 2 large entree salads.
