Meanwhile, place the pine nuts in a small frying pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until toasted.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until lightly browned. Add the capers and chilli, and cook, stirring, for a further 1 minute or until aromatic.
