Excellent recipe. I had some zucchini and asparagus on hand and I decided to use both in this recipe. Served it at a dinner party with Shrimp Scampi. Yum!!! It was great and I'll definitely be making this again.. Thanks for a great recipe!

This was my first time trying capers and I liked the taste of them. The topping came out nice and crispy and the oregano gave it a nice flavor. I think I can become very fond of capers if I use them more. So for my first venture with capers I have to say I'm glad I picked this recipe. Thanks homegirl for sharing your recipe. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders 2006

I love capers (and zuchinni is one of my favorite veggies) so when I noticed this recipe, I just had to give it a try, and I was certainly not dissapointed, it is just delicious! I increased all ingredients slightly as I used 6 medium zuchinni. This is a wonderful recipe for zuchinni, and I urge everyone to give it a try! Thanks for posting....Kittencal:)
