.Greek Caper Dip/Spread

In Greek cuisine, you'll notice that dips are referred to as a salad. This salad contains a most unusual main ingredient. Capers are not my favorite but as my husband loves them I thought I would try this unusual dip/spread. I'm glad I did cause we all loved it. This recipe is a specialty from one of the Cyclades islands Syros. Made in a different variation on other Cyclades islands like Tinos & Kythnos, most islands are bare & dry and capers grow. Try to find the smallest capers possible. Believe me, there is a big difference. That's my hubby's plate:) with caper dip on a cracker.

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large boiling potatoes
5 tablespoon(s) caper berries, rinsed from brine & chopped
3 clove(s) garlic, finely chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup(s) olive oil
2 tablespoon(s) white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Peel & boil the potatoes for about 20 minutes and set aside to cool. Place in a bowl and mash with a fork. Add the chopped capers, the garlic, the onion, the olive oil, pepper, vinegar, and pinch of salt. Mix well.
  • I find it easier to put half the amount in my food processor and then add the other half to be sure it's mixed well/
  • Serve as a meze, appetizer dip with toasted garlic bread or crackers, or as a spread for grilled fish or chicken. KALI OREXI: ENJOY!
  • Last night we had "Meze" night. My hubby enjoyed his caper dip on a cracker.
