- 1 tablespoon Capers, chopped
- 1 teaspoon White wine vinegar or malt vinegar (Good quality English vinegar)
- 1 dessertspoon Onions, finely minced or curry-style (About 2 teaspoons)

- 4Reduce heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a thick, coating consistency, about 8-10 minutes.
