Favorite recipe using capers?

[deelady]

Any favorite ways to use capers? I just bought a bottle because my DF (dear fiance) loves them. Hes on his way back from Afghanistan and I wanted to cook him something special...any suggestions?

Chicken Brest with lemon and capers. Chicken Brest ala schnitzel to think of a few

Hmmmmm.... I got some capers myself. All I do is eat them. I will be waiting with anticipation on how or what to use them in!!!

I think the intention I had was to use them in pasta tosses.... still need to make a pasta toss!!!

My wife has made that before...great dish but one time she forgot to rinse the brine off the capers and the dish was just a *wee* bit on the salty side.

I've also had soft shell crab with capers at a restaurant before...excellent dish.

I love making pasta with a simple sauce of a combination of any of the following: EVOO, garlic, capers, lemon, sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and anything else I have on hand that might work.

Do not forget Chicken or Veal picatta (sp?).

I love capers on pizza.

But, the othe day I stuffed squid with a mixture of bread crumbs, white wine parsely, garlic, tiny bit of cheese, and capers (think thats all but I can check recipe if anyone is interested....

carrots tossed in cremefraiche, yoghurt or even sour cream with dill and capers make a fantastic side dish.

In addition to some of the above, I sprinkle them on green salads and sometimes risotto.

Wow, check this out: Capers Recipes

HTH.

the minute I saw this thread title my mind went to "Veal Piccata!" (also Chicken Piccata!

They're indispensible in Ratatouille, too, and also Tapenade... I just love them and use them at almost any occasion.

Puttanesca (linguine with capers, black olives, anchovies) or a bagel with cream cheese, slice of tomato, smoked salmon, capers and red onion.

I have used them in a martini when I was out of olives too.
