"Basque nachos, also known as Spanish nachos, are the latest party food creation to trend on social media. This fun yet fancy fusion food takes inspiration from the enduringly popular Mexican dish nachos and adds a fresh, new twist using region-specific ingredients. This Basque nachos recipe, from the kitchen of recipe developer Jennine Rye, is inspired by foods originating from the Basque region, an autonomous community straddling the Spanish and French border and bounded by the Bay of Biscay."
"The Basque Country is deeply steeped in food culture, known specifically for its abundance of seafood and high-quality fresh products. These Basque-specific ingredients are often showcased in pintxos, tiny, bite-sized snacks similar to tapas, often served on a toothpick. Arguably the most famous of pintxos is the Gilda, a combination of sweet peppers, savory anchovies, and briny green olives, and it is this specific pintxo that inspires the bold, punchy salsa used in this recipe."
Basque nachos reinterpret classic nachos by pairing Mexican inspiration with ingredients from the Basque region. The Basque Country straddles the Spanish and French border along the Bay of Biscay and features abundant seafood and high-quality fresh products frequently showcased in pintxos. The Gilda pintxo, made with sweet peppers, anchovies, and green olives, provides the flavor template for a punchy salsa. The dish layers thick kettle chips with tangy Manchego cheese, salty-smoky Iberico ham, and the Gilda-inspired salsa to produce a bold, sophisticated snack that assembles in under ten minutes.
