Capers
Briny pickled flower buds that add a sharp, salty pop to Mediterranean dishes.
Capers are the unopened flower buds of the caper bush, brined or salt-cured into small, intensely sharp, salty morsels. A spoonful cuts through rich sauces (puttanesca, piccata, tartare) with a briny, almost citrusy pop.
