Basque Cream and Cherry Tart
From The New Spanish Table, posted for ZWT3. This has a lightly sweetened crumbly crust and a light and creamy filling. Amaretto works well in place of sambuca. Cooking time includes cooling time.
Basque-Style Trout with Herbs
This is a somewhat simplified version of a recipe from ‘Basque Cooking and Lore’ by Darcy Williamson. Our second home is in SW Idaho, which has a strong Basque community, and we have learned to love the Basque cuisine.
Basque Tuna & Potato Casserole
Marmitako is a traditional Basque dish, which I have yet to make myself. I’m told it’s delicious and seems very easy to make. I like the one pot idea! I’m unsure of the serving size, it seems like a lot to me for 4 people!
Basque Chicken Casserole
This was my dinner tonight and i really loved the taste of the chicken and the rice. It is kind of a paella casserole
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.
