Caper Powder

A salty, punchy seasoning made from dried salted capers. Intensely flavourful and shelf-stable for months. This is one of my favourites. I call it my gunpowder, because it takes only a pinch to fire up a dish. The flavour is bold, sharp and unmistakably Sicilian. I use salt-preserved capers for their intense flavour and lower moisture, which makes them perfect for drying slowly in the oven until they crumble into a powder. Sprinkle it on roasted aubergines/eggplants, stir into tomato sauce
