What are #Capers?
Capers* are the edible flower buds of the caper bush. These flower buds or caper berries are pickled after picking and delicious to eat, often added to smoked salmon or tuna dishes.
Capers are very healthy since they contain vitamin K, iron, riboflavin and polyphenols. Read more about it at *.
You can buy capers in small jars.
I used a ready to use pizza crust and put my toppings on it. So easy.
But you might want to make you own pizza dough. An example of how to make your own pizza dough is below.
Ingredients for one Tuna Pizza:
pizza crust ready to use with 8 servings (like Boboli Original Crust)
3 tablespoons tomato paste with salt, pepper, oregano and basil
1 big yellow onion, thinly sliced

2 garlic gloves, crushed
ginger, 1/2 inch, grated
