The capers provide sharp, salty accents within the mild mixture, while the tomato ties everything together with a fruity note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSardine cream with tomato and capers\u003c\/strong\u003e is a spreadable fish cream from la belle-iloise in Quiberon, Brittany. In the 60-gram tin, sardine fillets, extra virgin olive oil, capers, tomatoes, garlic, onions, and egg yolk are blended into a spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSalty accents in a smooth base\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capers are what distinguish this cream from a plain fish paste, as they are not pureed but left whole. When bitten, they release a concentrated saltiness that flashes briefly and then fades away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn between lies the tomato, in pieces and as a concentrate, with a mild sweetness and a light acidity. It tints the mixture reddish and makes the spread fruitier than a sardine could ever be on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGarlic and onions season from the background without overpowering, and a little yeast extract deepens the savory tone. Cassava starch binds everything into a cream that stays on the bread instead of running off the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOn crostini, in pasta, alongside eggs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn thinly toasted crostini with a few basil leaves, this cream is exactly how it is enjoyed in the Mediterranean. A drop of olive oil on top is all the accompaniment it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStirred into warm pasta, one tin makes a quick sauce for two, where the capers remain intact as salty highlights. Served with halved hard-boiled eggs and a little parsley, it becomes an appetizer for four.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts herbal-forward counterpart featuring light fish is the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/la-belle-iloise-lachscreme-mit-estragon\"\u003esalmon cream with tarragon\u003c\/a\u003e, which relies on anise rather than salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCapers are buds, not berries\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is in this tin as a caper is the unopened flower bud of the caper bush, picked before it can open. Fresh from the bush, it tastes like almost nothing and is unpleasantly bitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly curing makes them what we know and appreciate. Ripened in salt or brine, the flavors develop over weeks while the bitter substances slowly migrate outward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smaller the bud at the time of picking, the finer and more expensive it becomes, which is why the smallest ones in France have their own name, \"nonpareilles.\" They are picked by hand, bud by bud, because they never all reach the same stage on a bush at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this cream, the capers are added only at the very end, once the fish, tomato, and oil have already been combined. This is the only way they withstand the mixing process without falling apart, retaining the firm casing that releases its salt when bitten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe tin for a table with many small plates\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt belongs on a table where several small bowls stand side by side, next to olives, radishes, and good bread. Once opened, it will keep covered in the refrigerator for one to two days.
