Popular opinion is that there is no true substitute for capers, as you will always be missing a vital element of flavor.
To replace capers in a recipe and maintain their briny, tart flavor, add chopped green olives. Other options include a variety of pickled exotics, such as the buds of various flowers.
To replace capers in a recipe and maintain their texture, but obviously not their flavor, add chickpeas, green peas, or sauteed pine nuts.

∙ 15y agoThe most common substitute is green olives, but if you are using the store bought "jar" type, you may want to add a dash of lemon juice to get a flavor closer to capers and counter a bit of the saltiness. I've heard that nasturtiums also closely resemble the taste of capers, but can't vouch for that personally as my first "crop" of them hasn't matured yet.
