Caper mayonnaise is a delightful condiment that adds a tangy and savory kick to your dishes. This easy-to-make sauce combines the creaminess of mayonnaise with the briny flavor of capers and the freshness of parsley. It's perfect for spreading on sandwiches, serving as a dip, or drizzling over salads and grilled meats.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Drain and Rinse Capers: Start by draining the capers to remove any excess salty brine. Rinse them under cold water to enhance their flavor.
- Chop Capers and Parsley: Use a sharp knife to finely chop the capers and fresh parsley. This will ensure they mix well with the mayonnaise and distribute evenly throughout.
- Mix Mayonnaise: Place 1/3 cup mayonnaise in a small mixing bowl.
- Add Capers and Parsley: Add the finely chopped capers and parsley to the bowl with the mayonnaise.
- Stir Well: Use a spoon or small whisk to thoroughly mix the mayonnaise, capers, and parsley. Ensure that all the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Taste Test: Taste the mixture and adjust if necessary. If you'd like a bit more of a herbaceous flavor, you can add more chopped parsley. If you enjoy a stronger caper taste, feel free to add a few more, chopped finely.
- Season (Optional): Typically, there's no need to add salt since capers are quite salty, but you can add a small pinch if desired. Black pepper can also be added for an extra layer of flavor.
- Refrigerate: For best results, cover and refrigerate the caper mayonnaise for about 30 minutes before using. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- Enjoy: Serve your caper mayonnaise as a condiment with fish, chicken, sandwiches, or as a dipping sauce for vegetables.
Tips:
- For a smoother consistency, you can blend the capers and parsley with the mayonnaise using a food processor.
- If you prefer a zestier kick, add a squeeze of lemon juice or some lemon zest to the mixture.
- Let the caper mayonnaise sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Making caper mayonnaise is a quick and simple way to elevate your meals. With just a handful of ingredients, you can create a versatile condiment that pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Enjoy the unique combination of flavors and take your culinary creations to the next level!
