Mustapha's Moroccan Medium Capers in Brine

Mustapha's Moroccan Medium Capers in Brine

Product Description

The result is a deep aromatic, salty flavor with a hint of a tang on the finish. Caper flower buds grow quickly, and they are small enough to be classified this size for only a very short time. Their salty, aromatic flavor makes them an important ingredient to sauces like tartar, ravigote and rèmoulade and most tapenade recipes. Many people prefer medium capers because they have more impressive visual appeal and a milder flavor. Most capers are packed in vinegar, and this imparts a "pickled" flavor to them - as a result, the tangy finish tends to dominate the flavor of the aromatic caper. They are vibrant, aromatic with just the right balance of salt. These brined capers are perfect for use with rich foods such as salmon or in rich sauces - if they are too salty for your palate you may soak them in cold water. Mustapha cures his capers in salt brine, and then packs them in saltwater with just a tiny amount of vinegar. Caper bushes grow wild around the Mediterranean, flourishing in the same climates as olives, and in fact, we have come to recognize the flavor of a caper as classic Mediterranean. Capers are the flower buds from this plant. That fabulously vibrant, piquant flavor comes from the curing process. There is no better condiment for smoked or cured salmon. They are cultivated and collected in their natural range - in Spain, the south of France, Italy, Dalmatia, Greece, Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia, and especially Morocco. Capers, the flower bud of a Mediterranean shrub are a very versatile ingredient, condiment, flavor, and tradition. Varieties are selected for flavor and for the roundness and firmness of the buds. A freshly picked caper is a bland little thing. Their flavor, when cured in brine, tends to be reminiscent of a cornichon or gherkin. The caper bush is a spiny, straggling vine-like shrub that grows well in nutrient poor, gravelly soils, and is often found growing in crevices between rocks.
