Tomato Sauce With Capers and Vinegar image

There are so many ways to enjoy this sauce. You can serve it with pasta or grains, over vegetables (try it with cauliflower) or on a bruschetta. I recently tried it with Israeli couscous, sautéed in olive oil then simmered in stock and topped with this sauce.
