Capers

Preparation

1. Need some, have none

   Step 1

   (But, of course, you have some in your emergency kit, so why are we even including this?) Anyhow, in some recipes it will work to substitute finely chopped kalamata olives. Or even pickles.

2. Too salty or briny

   Step 2

   Rinse. If that isn’t enough, soak in water for 30 minutes, then rinse.
