Directions:
Rinse off 2 or 3 tablespoons of capers and dry them on a paper towel.
Add 1/3 cup olive oil and all of your capers to a microwave-safe bowl. Make sure the capers are covered by the oil.
Cover bowl with a paper towel, unless you like caper explosions.
Microwave for about 2 minutes, remove from microwave and stir.
Microwave another 2 minutes and then remove from the microwave. Strain the capers with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. The capers will continue to fry if you leave them in the oil.
Notes:
You can fry fewer capers if you want. Just know that if you reduce the number of capers or reduce the amount of oil, your capers will fry MUCH faster.
