This was quite the tasty lunch! I happened to have everything on hand for this recipe, so I gave it a whirl. Mmm! It came together in about 25 minutes, and it really was delicious. I could have done without with capers since I'm not a fan of little olive things that taste like they have been marinated in ocean water for 100 years. But- if you're into that sort of thing... go right on ahead an add them.
