Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 If you grow nasturtiums you may substitute thier flower buds for capers, however, I use the tiny dandelion flower buds. Great taste, and yes, I grow dandelions on purpose. Lisa Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 -Lisa Marie, Our ancestors who came to this country brought with them the Dandylion for many reasons. A shame that now we think of this plant as a weed. A yard full of Dandylions would be so pretty and would not use water or need care like grass.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Wow, I had no idea you could use capers in so many ways! I'll start adding them to recipes! You have all been such help. Thank you Lewanna, for looking up this recipe for me Thank you...I'm off to decide how to use them first. Jane using " Capers " posted by Sissy Cherry Tomatoes Stuffed With Spanish Tapenade 1/2 cup Spanish olives with pimento 1 1/2 teaspoons drained capers 1 teaspoon brandy 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 32 small cherry tomatoes Chopped fresh parsley for garnish Make the tapenade: in a food processor, pulse the olives until chopped fine. Add the remaining tapenade ingredients and pulse until olives are minced. With a sharp knife, slice the stem end (1/4-inch down) and the bottom (1/8-inch up) from each tomato and discard. Using a 1/4 teaspoon, remove the juice and seeds from each tomato half, leaving the outside shell intact. Spoon a generous 1/4 teaspoon of the tapenade into each shell and garnish with the parsley.
