What do you make that includes capers?

I’ve bought a jar of capers to make Chicken Piccata. I’ll use some in a fish pie or sauce for plain fish, however I’ll still have some left over. Google throws up a few ideas but I’d rather hear how you use them. Equally if you’ve tried them in something that didn’t really work, that would be useful info too. Thanks

Salad. Pasta. Eat them 4-5 times a week!!

This is useful. Mine tend to sit unused in the fridge, alongside with a few others!

In a wonderful dressing for cold beef.

Thank you so much everyone, I’ll have no problem using them up now

pasta puttanesca..

The king of all pasta dishes tbh.

No one should be using capers for anything else

Enjoy! They do add a lovely tang.

A tin of anchovies, couple of teaspoons of capers, two or three cloves of garlic, some torn up basil leaves and coarse black pepper.

Mash up in a pestle and mortar, put in a jam jar and half top up with extra virgin olive oil. You can keep it in the fridge for a couple of months.

Just take 3/4 teaspoons and stir through hot pasta.

It looks like another eco system in the fridge, but honestly, it tastes great!

This

….
but I also like them on pizza.

And I make a quick relish for burgers using bashed up capers, chopped gherkins, jalapeño and chopped cherry tomatoes

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/09/2025 17:38

Yes to homemade tartar sauce- or to spruce up the jarred stuff with more capers and gherkins chopped into it

TheSandgroper · 04/09/2025 09:56

I had a jar of capers that lasted me ten years in the fridge with no problems at all. They kept very well.

xsquared · 04/09/2025 14:43

I love capers. I've just had pasta alla norma with a spoonful of capers.

Put them on your pizza, with any tomato based pasta sauce, cut them up finely and make a tartar sauce with them.

In egg mayonnaise - perks up a sandwich.

Fish pie and mackerel pate.

Tinytigertail · 04/09/2025 18:14

I love capers and throw them into/onto everything! Lovely on a pizza, as others have said, and good in a putanesca too.

Goldplatedhinges · 04/09/2025 18:18

The "Veneziana" pizza from Pizza Expresswas a popular combination of pine kernels, red onion, capers, sultanas, black olives, mozzarella, and tomato. They’ve stopped making it but it’s my favourite pizza!

Goldplatedhinges · 04/09/2025 18:19

Put capers in mayo to make a quick tartare sauce

UnfashionableArtex · 04/09/2025 18:19

I mix with tinned tuna, red onion, parsley, chopped gherkins and lemon juice.

ImogenBrocklehurst · 04/09/2025 18:22

Meatballs made with turkey thigh mince, bread crumbs, garlic, Parmesan, and fennel. Bind with an egg. I like them over rice with a garlicky tomato sauce and some crumbled feta and oregano to finish off.

coxesorangepippin · 04/09/2025 18:27

I don't mind the taste but they're awful when you crunch on them

trainedopossum · 04/09/2025 18:38

Salsa verde or caper and lemon butter
