Caper Sauce Recipes

CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour and paprika, stirring with a wire whisk. When blended, add the fish broth, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Add salt and pepper.
• Beat the egg in a small bowl and add the cream, stirring to blend. Add this to the sauce. Bring to the simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Do not boil or the sauce may curdle. Add the capers, stir and remove from the heat.

LEMON CAPER BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Crush capers in a small bowl with the back of a spoon.
• Melt 1/2 teaspoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams and is golden; saute capers until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add lemon juice, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring frequently, until liquid is reduced by one-third, 1 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• Stir cold butter and savory into lemon mixture, stirring constantly until butter is completely melted and sauce is shiny and thick, about 1 minute.

PICKLE AND CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Finely dice the pickles and blend them with the capers, red onion and black olives; let the mixture sit until ready to serve. At the last moment, blend in parsley and olive oil to taste and season with salt and pepper.

CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a heavy 8 to 10-inch skillet, melt the butter over moderate heat. When the foam begins to subside, stir in the flour and mix thoroughly. Pour in the stock and, stirring constantly with a whisk, cook over high heat until the sauce thickens and comes to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for about 3 minutes to remove any taste of raw flour. Then stir in the capers, vinegar, salt and a few grindings of pepper. Taste for seasoning and serve hot from a small bowl or a sauceboat.
