some people don't like capers. I don't understand these people. they are delicious! anyway, last night I was making quick pan-fried chicken cutlets for dinner. [take a normal chicken breast, butterfly it open, and pound it out. voila!] I had seasoned them with lemon pepper and planned to make an easy pan sauce to pour over [melt butter, add chopped parsley and done. I meant EASY].
I started thinking that capers would make a lovely addition to the meal, but my pantry is sad looking at the moment and there is no caper in sight. I opened the fridge to try and find a suitable substitution when my eyes landed on a jar of green olives. PERFECT! same salty bite, a little brine-y and similar texture. I chopped a few up and threw them in with the butter and parsley. I can't say it was just as good because I love capers so much. but it definitely opened my eyes to the world of cooking with green olives.
