Puerto RicanAlcaparrado

Serves 10 | Prep 15 mins | Cook 0 mins

As with many cooking staples, there are times when it would be much easier to just head down to the grocery store and buy a jar of olives and capers in oil. When you see how effortless it is to make your own alcaparrado and how much better it tastes though, you may never go back to store bought.
