Notes
*Depending on the type of capers you are using, you will either need to rinse or drain them
- If using salt-cured capers, be sure to rinse the salt off before adding so you don’t over-salt your dish.
- If using brined capers, the rinsing isn’t necessary however be sure to drain the brining liquid off any capers you use.
