A jar of capers is one of those food items that look interesting when you reach for them in the grocery store but almost never actually get used in the kitchen. Well, now is the time to change it.
Instead of letting the capers you bought a while ago take up room in your pantry, use them to improve your dishes or make them more interesting.
Add Them to Pasta
Thanks to their tangy taste, capers can bring some life to your pasta dishes and make them more exciting. They will also balance out the cheese and cream sauces.
Introduce Them to Salads
Capers will work well with most salads. Swap anchovies with capers in a Caesar salad or throw them in with salads rich with leafy greens for more flavor and texture.
Toss them on a Pizza
Anchovies swap works well in the pizza scenario as well. Also, let’s face it, anything you toss on a pizza will work well.
Use Them in Sandwiches
Pickled stuff hits differently in sandwiches, and capers are no different. There will add a bit of kick to your sandwiches regardless of whether you prefer to put chicken, cold cuts, veggies, or something else between two slices of bread.
