Capers
Capers are a staple in many Mediterranean dishes, known for their unique flavor and ability to enhance a variety of recipes. In their natural state, capers grow on vines adorned with flowers. However, before they can be used in cooking, they must undergo a pickling process.
The pickling process, typically involving vinegar or salt, is crucial as it significantly alters the taste of capers. For those interested in cultivating their capers, selecting larger flower buds is advisable, as this leads to a more robust flavor, making them an excellent choice for pairing with cream cheese.
