The culinary scene in Basque Country is totally unique and nowhere is that more evident that in San Sebastian. Here are my must-visit picks for doing a tapas crawl, Basque style.
Transport yourself to San Sebastián with our refreshing White Wine Sangria Cocktail, pair it with tapas for a taste of Basque Country in every sip and bite.
Inspired by the tomato soup at one of our all-time favorite tapas bars in San Sebastian, Spain, this Roasted Tomato Soup With Jamón And Idiazábal recipe from Jose Pizzaro’s new cookbook has us dreaming of Basque country!
You’ve probably noticed that, just as much as my adventures influence my cooking, so do ingredients. And when it comes to one set of ingredients, I can’t help think of how many places I’ve seen them. Here are a few of our favorite legume, pulses, and beans recipe ideas inspired by our travels.
All our favorite Spanish and French flavors combine in this dish from Los Angeles! It’s a combination of crispy black lentils with pencil-thin asparagus and Jamón Serrano and then all topped with a Crème Fraîche Mustard sauce! My mouth is already watering writing this Black Lentils with Asparagus, Jamón, and Crème Fraîche Sauce recipe down!
Between the people, food, and culture, San Sebastian is by far one of our favorite places we’ve ever set foot. Very much Basque but still distinctly Spanish, one of the must dos in this seaside town is a tapas crawl.
You’ll see foods familiar to tapas in Madrid and Barcelona and other flavors that are 100% Basque. This Crab-Stuffed Piquillo Peppers recipe is a variation on the tapas bars and we now make it on the regular.
Have you been to Southern Spain? If so, you’ve likely heard of Coca. No, it’s not a soft drink but a savory flatbread hailing from Mallorca. We’re recent transplants from New York (we moved here to start a private chef business) and it’s pretty much our favorite part of Mallorca (aside from the beaches, the people, and the history). At its best, a Coca is a crisp olive oil-dough topped with seasonal vegetables. So we want to share with you the Coca Mallorquina or Mallorcan Flatbread with Spring Vegetables recipe.
Try our Austin Texas Migas Breakfast Recipe for a Tex-Mex delight! Scrambled eggs with salsa and crispy tortillas—a perfect brunch or hangover cure.
Inspired by the classic Spanish sauce made with roasted peppers, Marcona almonds, paprika, and garlic, this Roasted Red Pepper Romesco Dip Recipe’s only problem is how crave-worthy it is!
Imagine if your life had a soundtrack — a musical score that would play as the day unfolded. One that would musically reflect where you were at any given moment and mirror the mood of the time, weather, and the company you were keeping. This week I’m exploring Basque Country and this is what I’m listening to.
