I recently got a gift of some greek caper leaves, packed in brine... the question is - what to do with them? I haven't tasted them yet, but I gather they taste like capers, but there's a bitterness to them...

Any ideas?

Thanks... are they intended to be eaten raw, or slightly cooked? Also, what are they supposed to taste like?

They're usually brined or pickled. They may have a mild bitterness to them, although sometimes they remind me of nasturtiums.

I like to serve them with either toast or toasted pita, tomato salad and fried eggs. Or with grilled snapper or porgy.
