Preparation
The tangy, bitter flavour of capers adds piquancy to many sauces and condiments, such as tartare sauce, and they are a good match for fish. They can be used as a garnish for meat and vegetable dishes and in tapenade. Capers preserved in salt should be rinsed before use to remove any excess.
