HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE FERMENTED CAPERS - FORAGER CHEF



How to Make Homemade Fermented Capers - Forager Chef image

Naturally fermented and preserved flower bud "capers"

Provided by Alan Bergo

Categories     Appetizer    Snack

Prep Time 5 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 3

25 grams kosher salt (1.5 tablespoons)
500 grams water (2 cups)
Unopened flower buds (seed pods, etc, as needed)

Steps:

  • Combine the water and salt and whisk to dissolve. Pour the salt water in to a Canning jar and add the seed pods flower buds or whatever you're using, then screw on the lid. Leave the jar on the counter for 3-5 days to start fermenting, or even longer, then transfer to the fridge.
  • Open the jar here and there to check on the capers and release carbon dioxide. After about 2 weeks the capers should have a nice flavor, but if you leave them in the fridge longer they will continue to age and develop until the pH is as low as it can go.
  • More or less, the longer they sit, the better they will get, and you can let your palette be your guide. The capers will keep for a very, very long time, as long as they're kept completely underneath the brine.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Total Time 14 minutes

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 9 minutes

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 large sea scallops
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ stick unsalted butter, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 shallots, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
¼ cup caper, drained and rinsed
½ cup white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc

Steps:

  • Season the scallops on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, melt together 1 tablespoon butter and the olive oil over high heat. When the butter has melted, add the scallops to the pan and sear, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown on both sides and nearly opaque all the way through, 3–4 minutes total. Divide the scallops between 2 plates and return the skillet to medium-high heat.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Add the shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the capers and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the wine and cook, stirring, until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and add the remaining tablespoon of butter, swirling the pan until it melts into the sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, then spoon it over the scallops. Serve hot.
  • Enjoy!

Rinse brined capers before using. Salt-packed capers are too salty to be eaten straight from the jar; soak them in cool water for about 15 minutes and rinse in several changes of water.

For an unusual garnish or salad addition, pat capers dry and then lightly fry them in a little olive oil.
