Capers béchamel sauce is a refined addition to any dish requiring a delicate flavor accent. Originating from French classical cuisine, this sauce gains a new hue from capers that add zest and a slight tanginess. The creamy texture made from butter, milk, and broth perfectly envelops meat and fish dishes while pairing wonderfully with pasta and vegetables. Egg yolks provide richness, while capers impart an exquisite aroma of Mediterranean gastronomy. This sauce should be served fresh to fully appreciate its harmony of flavors. An excellent choice for gourmets who value the balance between softness and spicy notes!
