Lemony Capery Goodness

  When all else fails, we love making this dish. It's cheap, simple and delicious - three of our favorite descriptors of a Monday night dinner at home. Here's how to make this healthful, light dish in literally ten minutes.

  The sauce is called piccata. It's a classic staple on Italian-American menus especially in our home state of New Jersey. You can make this simple piccata sauce with chicken or even veal, if you fancy.

  Pair this dish with simply steamed rice or a fresh crusty baguette you picked up on your way home from the office. Done.
