Capers
Tiny, briny and packed with flavor, capers add a salty, tangy pop that wakes up rich and fresh dishes alike. They’re essential in a classic French Steak Tartare, and fried until crispy, they’re the perfect topping for Tomato Tonnato with the classic Italian tuna sauce. Toss them into a classic Panzanella Salad, a quick Octopus Salad with Potatoes and Olives or a Salmon Niçoise Salad, or stir them into the bright chimichurri for Easy Grilled Scallops. Tip: capers come packed in brine or salt. Rinse salt-packed capers well before using. To fry them, pat them dry, then cook them in a little hot olive oil for a minute or two until they burst open and turn crisp.
