Capers

If you've never eaten capers, that small jar packed with tiny green beads can look downright mysterious. Adding capers to foods gives your dishes a piquant, zesty flavor similar to pickles. Directly from the jar or rinsed, they are one of those "little" ingredients that can make a "big" difference. Capers are flowers, more specifically flower buds of the caper bush, these small buds are picked, sun-dried and then pickled in a vinegar brine. This packages contain 3 size of capers, non pareil, fine and capote. We recommend you to use nonpareil for salads, fine for sauces and capote for purées and mashes. You can also: * Toss capers into scrambled eggs or fold into omelettes. * Dress up store bought marinara sauce with a teaspoon of capers per cup * Add capers to any prepared chicken, egg or tuna salad * Add capers to homemade or store bought salad dressings * Add capers to low fat mayonnaise for a zesty spread * Add capers to meatloaves and meatballs
