Cleaned the refrigerator today and was dismayed to find that I have depleted my supply of capers. No self-respecting refrigerator should be without a jar of capers (in my opinion).

You can do so much as a cook with so few of those salty little piquant pickled gems. My favorite caper-oriented dish is sliced chicken breast accented with a buttery sauce of lemon juice and …. capers.

Here are some other uses I have for capers that I have noted in my family cookbook:
- Deviled egg filling
- Caesar salad dressing
- Cream cheese spread
- Pasta salad
- Pizza topping
- Martini garnish
- Tartar sauce
- Meatball ingredient

What concerns me most about my lack of capers in the refrigerator is that I didn’t realize I was out of capers. Oh, my. Clearly I’ve been amiss in using my very own grocery shopping list pad! Or, at the very least I’ve been remiss in cooking with capers in general, and didn’t notice that I used the last bit of them. Either way, I’m bound to go on a great grocery store caper caper this weekend.

Happy cookbooking,

Matilda
