"If you have a pallette for Mediterrenean style food then you may want to give this a try, there is really nothing all that fancy about this dish but the flavor comination really shine through! if you do not like capers I suggest to pass this by, the addition of capers is a must for this recipe. Do not skimp on the olive oil it is what adds flavor to this dish! Graviera is a delicious hard cheese that is good for grating you can use in place of the feta cheese"
