How to make lemon caper sauce

  1. Prepare the capers: If using salt-packed capers, place then in a sieve and rinse to remove the salt. Allow the capers to drain then roughly chop (especially if they’re very big). Place them in a mixing bowl.
  2. Make the sauce: Add the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, finely chopped herbs, crushed garlic and season with salt and pepper. Mix until combined, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Can I make this ahead?

The sauce can be made up to a week ahead and kept in the fridge in an airtight container. Make sure to top the sauce with olive oil so that everything is submerged, this will preserve the ingredients in the sauce.

    This is wonderful. Thank you Aloda. Taking a global view it is fundamentally a Chimichurri (ref Argentina). Chimi Verdi (green as opposed to red) to be precise. Another useful addition to the ingredients would be cilantro. Thank you once again.
