I guess this really isn't a pizza ingredient posting (does anybody have a good caper pizza recipe?), but here are a couple of photos of a caper plant in our stone wall. Capers naturalize here, and you see them almost wild in walls in older cities.
Capers are a major part of puttanesca and they dress up a range of dressings, sauces and vegetable dishes. We have had them cured in brine and salt cured -- and have had various friends give us homemade jars, but I've never done it myself. I tried to grow a few plants in California, but I couldn't get them to work in hot Sonoma.
Anybody have a favorite caper recipe you want to share?
It's a good-looking plant. Of course stone walls help.
