Your Best Caper Dish? (pork, sauce, loins, sweet)

[gentlearts]

I used to make this for big parties, and it was always a hit.

Seafood Appetizer

One dozen hard boiled eggs, sliced
One pound shrimp, cooked & halved
One pound surimi crab-washed & chopped.

2 cups or so of good mayo
1/3 to ¾ cup chili sauce-til it’s a nice pink color.
Drained capers.
Place a layer of sliced eggs, then shrimp, then crab.
Top with sauce.
Repeat layers.
Garnish with a few shrimp & capers.
Chill

Scoop onto sturdy crackers

Drain and dry capers. Toss in hot olive oil until lightly browned and crisp. I use as a topping for lemon spaghetti with shrimp, salads, etc.

I'm going with the chicken piccatta.

I also like them in an Italian like salsa verde https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/f...ey-sauce-14978 I also like them in a tomato salad.

I like them on beef carpaccio. Others like them on lox.

In spaghetti sauce somestimes - puttanesca.

One suggestion: Wash them off in water before using them. And careful with the salt when you do put them in a dish.

I'm with Evening sun..I use them when I make Deer Liver Pâte

They are also delicious in Pasta Puttanesca...What the Prostitutes of Italia used to fortify themselves on their down time..hence the name.

Last night we had them in Chicken Cacciatore.

I put capers in Cuban style picadillo.

I like to give them a light mash and add them to tartar sauce.

Same in Puerto Rican picadillo for empanadillas etc. but we just use the Alcaparrado which has the capers, but brings olives, and pimentos too.
Most Puertorriqueños I know, leave out the potatoes, but I have had it con potatoes and it sure is tasty.

We use the picadillo straight, over rice or as an empanada filling. Sometimes I'll sneak a few capers into ropa vieja. If you make these style dishes, do you make tostones and/or maduros?

Capers are usually an accent flavor, not the feature of the dish.
