Wait. Surely it is not that easy! I think I could even try this one.
Did you change your header? It looks great.
I love capers in just about anything! Looks delicious!
Okay, okay, I am having a small little hissy fit over here. I want to be invited to dinner, right now. This minute. Yummy as usual! I just bought some capers today, and I know what we are having for dinner tomorrow night. Thanks for sharing.
I love capers in all dishes and
although I do not eat meat this
recipe sounds yummy!

I am so glad I ate dinner before visiting you tonight. This looks wonderful!
This looks absolutely delicious to me. It happens to be some of my favorite flavor combinations all the way around, and angel hair is my favorite pasta type. Just plain YUM.
wonderful choice for the letter C! From a food lover for sure…
Ooh La La! This is pretty fancy fixins! Thanks for the recipe! Come visit soon. Hugs Anne
I’m rather new to capers, but think I like them. They make a nice addition to your photo – and probably to your taste buds!
that was easy…but i dont have wine and capers…im in the middle east where wine and liquors cannot be bought unless you have license…any alternative to those.
thanks. -r1-
Richard: I would up the lemon a bit and use chicken broth in place of the wine. If you can’t find capers, add a little extra salt.
xxoo,

Is that Asparagus there on the side? Love seasonal recipes especially when they contain lemon.

Chicken Piccata is one of my absolute favorite dishes!
I’ve substituted green olives in a pinch for capers.
