Basque Eggs

A long time ago I had a recipe from a Basque cookbook for really tasty eggs poached in a simple stew of tomatoes, peppers, and onions. I’ve since lost that recipe, but this is pretty close to the flavors (though I won’t claim it as authentic Basque cooking!) This is really quick to prepare, especially if you dice your veggies as you’re cooking instead of doing th prep work all up front (for example, while the sausage sautes, dice the onion, after the onion goes in, mince the garlic, once the garlic is in, dice the peppers, etc.) This can be made vegetarian/vegan by substituting 1 tsp. oil for the sausage.

Basque Lemonade

“What would summer be without lemonade? Actually, this can be considered more of a wine cooler and is definitely the kind of lemonade not to serve to children. With a massive heat wave being felt around the world, including Spain’s Basque region, it is most likely that the ‘ardaurgozatza’ is flowing daily.” Neither soak nor chill time is included.

Basque Chorizo and Lentil Soup

I found this web on the net recently (I was on a Basque kick). I have not tried it out yet, but I am sucker for anything with lentils.

Basque Style Potatoes

Spicy potatoes. You can do these in the oven if you like, but I find the stovetop to be easier when I have a limited amount of time and/or energy. When I’m feeling especially lazy, I sub out a premixed creole seasoning for the seasonings. Always add the fresh garlic though.
