Capers are a staple in Mediterranean cuisine and prized for their briny, salty, slightly sour flavor. They really amp up the flavors of any dishes they’re added to, and totally worth a try! You can find them in the pickle aisle of any grocery store. If you can’t find them, you can leave them out or sub chopped green olives.

Can I use canned diced tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes?
