Ingredients

1 pound Pantelleria capers 

1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

1. First, soak the capers in water for several hours, or overnight. Drain and change the water twice while the capers soak.

2. Drain the capers, taking care to remove as much excess water as possible.

3. In a blender, blend the capers,  oregano, and olive oil, until it has the consistency of paste.

4. Store in a jar in the refrigerator, and use on toast, on top of fish or vegetables, or stirred into pasta.

Will always use this paste instead of capers on my salmon recipes. Much more flavourful. Thank you
