Blister Cherry Tomatoes: Heat Olive Oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add Cherry Tomatoes, Salt, and Black Pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until tomatoes are blistered and softened.

Deglaze with White Wine and reduce by half. Stir in Lemon Juice, Capers, Salt, and Black Pepper. Remove from heat and stir in Parsley.
