12 pairings for Capucine.

Câpres

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.

Cresson

common

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

Concombre

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.

Petit pois

uncommon

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

Crabe

uncommon

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

Betterave

uncommon

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

Saumon fumé

uncommon

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

Truite

rare

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

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

Fraise

wild

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