Capers
Recently in our time-line on Twitter, one of our followers said she hated capers. It is our belief that she has not experienced them in a light, subtle, yet fabulous dish. Perhaps we are incorrect, but let’s find out!
The following recipe incorporates lemon and capers into a sauce tossed with angel hair into this light, yet extremely flavorful dish. Enjoy as a light entree or as a side dish with roast chicken, or Parmesan crusted chicken cutlets.
