What goes with Capers?
Capers are unopened flower buds preserved to become a concentrated savoury condiment. The bud supplies a small, firm bite and pungent vegetal aroma; packing salt and any vinegar contribute separate seasoning. Size and preservation method therefore affect both the dose and whether rinsing is useful.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Capers?
Use chopped capers to season egg sauces and potatoes evenly, and whole buds when a fish accompaniment needs punctuating. Brine should be measured as a sauce ingredient in its own right. A caper butter needs enough water or cooking juice to carry the seasoning across the food.
