Butter Bean Piccata is one of those dishes that feels fancy but is secretly super simple. This vibrant vegetarian recipe features creamy butter beans nestled in a tangy, lemony piccata sauce with pops of briny capers. It's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, but its bright flavors and elegant presentation make it equally great for a special occasion meal.
