Tomato Sauce With Capers and Vinegar image

There are so many ways to enjoy this sauce. You can serve it with pasta or grains, over vegetables (try it with cauliflower) or on a bruschetta. I recently tried it with Israeli couscous, sautéed in olive oil then simmered in stock and topped with this sauce.

I love that this sauce can be made ahead of time. It's so convenient to have a delicious sauce on hand when I'm short on time.

This sauce is perfect for meal prep! I made a big batch on the weekend and used it throughout the week for pasta, chicken, and fish.

I made this sauce vegan by using olive oil instead of butter. It was just as delicious as the original recipe.

I'm allergic to capers, so I substituted them with chopped olives. The sauce still turned out great!

This sauce is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a lighter version next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out watery and tasteless. I think I might have added too much vinegar.

This sauce is okay, but I've had better. I think I'll stick to my usual tomato sauce recipe.

I found this sauce to be a bit bland. It needs more seasoning, such as garlic, oregano, and basil.

This sauce is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll add a bit of sugar next time to balance out the flavors.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I always have a few extra tomatoes lying around, and this sauce is a delicious way to use them up.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of capers. But I'm so glad I did! The capers add a subtle salty flavor that perfectly complements the tangy vinegar.

I've tried many tomato sauce recipes, but this one is by far the best. The capers and vinegar give it a wonderfully complex flavor that I can't get enough of.

I made this sauce last night and it was a hit! My family loved the unique flavor combination of the capers and vinegar. It's definitely a keeper!

This tomato sauce is a delightful blend of flavors that will elevate any pasta dish. The capers add a briny, salty touch, while the vinegar provides a subtle acidity that brightens the sauce. I highly recommend this recipe!
