We used to enjoy this dish at our favorite Italian restaurant, and decided to make our own copycat recipe. This is an easy dish to prepare, but makes a strikingly attractive entree. We like to serve asparagus with it since the earthiness is a delightful contrast to the capers. For a little extra zest. serve it with a slice or two of lemon so guests can adjust the flavor to their taste.
