capers

I love the contrast between the crunchy golden breadcrumbs, soft egg and the tangy sauce laced with capers. Make no mistake, this simple dish can be a bit tricky to prepare. You need to use really fresh eggs so that they poach into satisfying plump shapes. You need to be ultra gentle when...

Picadillo is a dish of Spanish origin, versions of which can be found in many Latin American countries and also the Philippines. Its taste is typified by the ‘sweet and sour’ use of raisins and capers alongside spices. It can be made with any finely chopped or minced meat and there are many...

This is a sweet, sour and aromatic salsa with toasty undertones from the charred pineapple. Epazote, a Mexican herb adds an intriguing faintly liquorice twist. If you can’t find it you could use oregano. Ingredients (serves 2 to 3) 100g pineapple pieces (fresh or tinned) 15g fresh coriander...

Cromer crab from North Norfolk is in season now in the UK. They are not really big crabs but they are the sweetest I’ve ever tasted. Crab pasta recipes often use linguini but I rather like to use generous fat ribbons of pappardelle to contrast with the delicate crabmeat. Capers add a special...

Fish and capers are such a cliche. There’s a reason for that: it’s because they taste amazing together. Maybe the fish can't see so well, and they think the capers are fish eggs? Whatever the reason, it's a winning combo. Citrus also works well with fish, and I leaned heavily into it here, using...

So I started off with a humble Swiss Chard strudel, made with the classic Italian combination of olives and capers with flaked almonds from here (Vegan Swiss Chard Strudel with Caper, Olive & Almond -). But I was looking at it thinking that really other than that measly 1tbsp of flakes almonds...

Ajiaco Bogotano is a Colombian soup made with chicken, corn, potato, and capers. I had leftover corn, which normally means I make a corn chowder. The literal translation of the name of my recipe is "Imposter Ajiaco Bogotano"...@karadekoolaid can correct my abuse of the language. :laugh: This...

I love capers as an ingredient, except for one thing: the tendency they have to roll off things. They're round, so that's inevitable. But, when they're part of a sauce, there's always an uneven distribution: some capers pool together in one bite, while the next bite might not have any capers...
