My sister just returned from Sicily and one of the food items she gave me is a

bag of caper berries. Never had them and never cooked with them.

Any suggestions?

Must be the week to go to Sicily...

One of my friends just returned form there also...

You can try putting them in a sauce for veal, for example, butter, lemon and caperberries

Cyn, are the caper berries fresh or dried?

 

[cynupstateny]

Fresh, Pat.

Above recipes sound good- thanks!

I add them to a mixture of assorted olives and peppadews and serve

alongside a platter of nice cheeses, with crackers or crostini. Makes a nice appetizer. The caper berries are delicious.

That sounds lovely! Next time I host a dinner party I'll do that. Thanks!
