Juggling busy lives, with or without children, can be totally exhausting at times. This is when you need recipes that give you everything you need in terms of flavour and looks, but are a cinch to put together. Here, you throw the ingredients into the pan and, in very little time, you have a cracking dinner in front of you. Think of the flavours. Mild, sweet chillies, honey, caramelised lemons, garlic, capers and tarragon all having a party together, emulsified with a delicious amount of butter and a splash of white wine. This is a keeper. Serve with sautéed courgettes, or a herby rice and a crisp green salad.
