Basque Cornbread (Pain De Maïs)
Columbus took cornbread back to the Old World in the 15th century, and thanks to some of his Basque crew, cornbreads took hold and are still produced in local bakeries. Nice with a hearty soup or stew.

I have never tried this recipe in a slow cooker but I think it could easily be adapted . Cook the shanks on low all day, have the beans prepared and finish the last steps before serving. Great taste, don’t be scared of the 12 cloves of garlic.
The peppers and ham are really what makes this a Basque style recipe. This is tasty without being strongly flavored.
This one dish meal combines fish, potatoes and veggies all in one pot with a delicious basque style sauce. Serve with steamed greens for extra veggies.
I’ve had this recipe since the early 70’s. There is something about the blend of flavors that I like – maybe it’s the Vermouth!
