Combine fruit and liqueur in a bowl, and allow to marinate.

Marinade

• 2/3 cup sake

Quail

• 4 oz. quails, 2 per guest
• Butcher string

Method:
Stuff quail with stuffing, filling the entire cavity. Tie the legs together with butcher string to prevent from opening when they’re baking.
Pour marinade over the quail, making sure that it covers it completely. Allow to marinate for a couple of hours. Preheat oven to 425 degrees, then cook for 5 minutes on each side, then turn over once more for another 5 minutes. Remove quail from the oven.
Boil excess marinade on the stove for 10 minutes, reducing it down to a thick sauce. Using a pastry brush, baste the quail with it each time you turn them over.

Lemon and Cumin Green Beans

Method:
Trim off the edges of the beans. In a pot, bring water to a boil, then add the beans to the water in order to blanche them, making sure not to over-cook them, but to keep them crisp. Add a bit of butter and cumin, then cover with lid, shake it up, add a little squeeze of lemon, and you’re done.
