Frequently Asked Questions About Caper and pepper sauce
What is caper and pepper sauce made of?
Caper and pepper sauce is typically made with capers, peppers, oil and an acidic ingredient such as vinegar or lemon juice. Packaged versions are processed condiments, and their recipes may also include salt, herbs or thickeners.
How do you use caper and pepper sauce?
Caper and pepper sauce works as a sharp, savory topping or spread. Spoon it over grilled vegetables or fish, spread a little in a sandwich, or serve it alongside roasted meat; start with a small amount because capers can be assertive.
Is caper and pepper sauce spicy?
Caper and pepper sauce can be mild or hot, depending on the pepper variety and recipe. Capers themselves add a tangy, salty flavor rather than chili heat. If you are sensitive to spice, taste a little before adding it to a whole dish.
How do you make caper and pepper sauce at home?
To make caper and pepper sauce, blend roasted peppers with capers, olive oil and lemon juice or vinegar, then adjust the texture with more oil. Rinse and drain salty capers first, and leave some ingredients chunky if you prefer a relish-like sauce.
What foods pair well with caper and pepper sauce?
Caper and pepper sauce pairs well with grilled fish, roasted vegetables, chicken and sandwiches. Its sharp, salty flavor cuts through rich foods and adds contrast to mild ones, so serve it as a condiment rather than coating everything heavily.
How should you store caper and pepper sauce after opening?
Store opened caper and pepper sauce according to its package directions; refrigerate it if the label instructs you to. Keep the container tightly closed and use a clean utensil each time. Homemade sauce should be covered and refrigerated.
How can you make caper and pepper sauce less salty?
To soften caper and pepper sauce that tastes too salty, mix in unsalted roasted pepper, plain yogurt or a little olive oil, depending on how you plan to serve it. When making it, rinse and drain the capers before blending.
Can you use caper and pepper sauce with pasta?
Yes, caper and pepper sauce can be tossed with cooked pasta for a quick, tangy coating. Loosen it with a little pasta cooking water and add it after draining; tasting first helps avoid making the dish overly salty.
Can caper and pepper sauce replace tartar sauce?
Caper and pepper sauce can replace tartar sauce as a condiment for fish, but the result will taste different. It is usually sharper and less creamy, so add mayonnaise or plain yogurt if you want a closer, creamier texture.
Do you need to cook caper and pepper sauce?
No, caper and pepper sauce does not need cooking and can be served cold or at room temperature. You can stir it into a hot dish near the end of cooking, but prolonged heating may dull its fresh, tangy flavor.

What is Caper and pepper sauce?
Caper and pepper sauce brings together the briny, sharp flavour of capers and the fruitiness of pepper. Recipes vary, so it may be smooth or retain small pieces, and its character can range from gently sweet to distinctly tangy. It works as a condiment with fish, grilled vegetables, sandwiches or a mezze-style spread; a little can brighten foods with mild flavours. At 62 calories per 100 g, it is generally used in small portions for flavour rather than as a substantial part of a meal. Try it alongside roasted vegetables or spooned over grilled fish, and use a modest amount if you want the other ingredients to stay in the foreground.
