12 pairings for Capuchina.

Alcaparras

classic

Pickle the green seeds and you have capers. Same brine, same mustard bite, no import.

Isothiocyanate heat cuts the fat and the nectar sweetness lands on the chalk.

Berro

common

Identical mustard oil from two plants. Stack them and the pepper doubles.

Pepino

common

Cold and green underneath, sharp and hot on top. One plant does both jobs.

Tomate

common

The heat sits where black pepper would, and the petal brings acid tolerance with it.

Arveja

uncommon

Shared hexenal green, and the pepper is what stops the pea reading as baby food.

Cangrejo

uncommon

Sweet white meat wants a burn that fades fast. Mustard oil clears in five seconds.

Remolacha

uncommon

Geosmin earth under mustard heat; the flower does what horseradish does, more quietly.

Oily cure plus mustard bite. The petal is doing the work of both dill and pepper.

Trucha

rare

Stuff the cavity with leaves; the heat volatilises into the flesh as it steams.

Ostra

rare

Brine and pungency, no acid required. Chop the leaf, skip the shallot entirely.

Fresa

wild

Same logic as black pepper on berries, but the flower brings green stem with it.
