Ceres Organics Organic Mediterranean Capers 100g are a tangy, piquant condiment for anyone who wants a small ingredient with a distinct savoury flavour. Preserved in organic vinegar, water and sea salt, they are easy to spoon into a sauce, scatter over a finished plate or keep as a separate accompaniment. This is a 100g jar of capers from Italy.
The short ingredient list puts capers at the centre, with vinegar and salt providing the familiar sharpness of this pantry condiment. The capers and vinegar are certified organic, and the recipe is vegan with no added sugar. Choose them when a dish needs a savoury, vinegary accent rather than a sweet relish. A little can make a noticeable difference, so begin with a small amount and adjust after tasting the other ingredients.
Stir capers through a tomato pasta sauce, add them to a lemon dressing or scatter them over cooked fish and vegetables. For a cold lunch, chop a few into a potato salad or mix them into a sauce for a sandwich. They also work with roasted vegetables and antipasto plates, where their sharp flavour sits alongside milder foods. Try leaving them whole for little pockets of tang, or chopping them when you want their flavour spread more evenly through a dressing or sauce.
The compact jar suits recipes that use capers by the spoonful rather than as a main ingredient. Keep the vinegar-and-salt character in mind when seasoning a finished dish, especially if it also includes olives, cheese or other salty ingredients: taste before adding extra salt or vinegar. Product of Italy. For storage before and after opening, follow the instructions printed on the current jar label.
