No matter the season, this recipe with it's complimentary sauce is a "go to" for sure. The best part is that it goes from skillet to table in no time at all!

Hi Grace, if your read #7 under directions it says to “Reduce burner heat to medium. Add wine thru Herbes de Provence to skillet & cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly with a non-metal whisk. Among that list is the capers.
