Crispy Fried Capers Recipe
These crispy treats are a perfect garnish for salads and fish -- giving a salty crunch to your meal. The key to this recipe is using capers packed in salt, and rinsing and patting them dry before you fry them.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup (2 jars) Salt-Packed Capers
1-1/2 cups Rice Bran Oil - for frying
Directions:
Rinse capers in a seive under running water for a minute or in a bowl of water for 10-20 minutes. Do multiple times if you want less salt.
Drain and rinse capers one more time, and pat very dry with a peper towel before frying -- or you will get serious splatter.
Heat oil in heavy skillet over moderate hear, until oil is about 375 degrees. Fry capers in 2 batches until golden brown, about 30-45 seconds per batch. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 375 degrees between batches.
Serve.
