Notes

  • You can find capers in the pickle aisle of most grocery stores. They are usually with pickled onions, olives, and jarred peppers. You will need a small jar. Around a 3 floz or 110g jar)
  • When you have fried the capers the oil will have a wonderful subtle caper flavor. Once cooled, keep the oil in the refrigerator and use it for salad dressings or pasta sauces.
  • The fresh herbs are totally optional. You could use chives, parsley, or oregano.
