Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 jar capote (large) capers, drained well and patted dry
1 clove garlic, grated or finely chopped
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
6 plum tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 small red onion or 1/2 medium, very thinly sliced
1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
A handful pitted good quality black olives
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, for seasoning

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in small pan over medium-high heat. Add capers but be careful, they will spatter. Fry the capers 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until golden, drain on paper towels.
  • Combine remaining 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil with garlic and anchovy paste. Add tomatoes, onion, parsley and olives. Season with red pepper flakes and salt and pepper. Garnish with capers and serve.
