Capers are the powerful flower buds of the Capparis spinosa plant, providing lemony tang and unique flavor that enhances various savory dishes, from bagels to pasta.
Available in grocery stores, capers are packed in either salt or vinegar. The smallest variety, nonpareil, is most prized for its intriguing brine and pronounced taste.
To maximize their impact, buy capers in a large jar, pat them dry, and sauté in oil for a crunchy topping, or use the brine to marinate meats.
Incorporating capers into recipes can convert guests into fans, as their assertive flavor adds vibrancy to creamy dressings and rich sauces.
