Parece que estos días la red se ha decidido a hablar de cocina vasca o de influencia vasca. Les dejamos aqui un especial de la revista ELLE con varios sabrosos platos vascos para el verano; un Pollo al Pil-Pil, que es una receta chilena de influencia vasca, y un Gâteau Basque (ambos desde San Antonio -Texas-); y un plato de inspiración vasca, desde Oregón. Todo un recetario. A probar y a disfrutar.

Chefs’ Secrets: Lüke’s Gâteau Basque cake
Gâteau Basque is one of the most versatile and unusual cakes I’ve tried. Its texture or “crumb” is substantial, not airy. It consists of upper and lower cake layers and a filling in between. Lüke executive chef Steven McHughand his staff prepare their version of the delicious, dense cake and fill it with luscious rum-spiked pastry cream. The cake’s filling can vary, and in France, one regional twist is to use cherry jam. You can feel free to exercise your independence and fill your Gâteau Basque any way you like. When you serve it, McHugh suggests you gussy it up with a tumble of sweet juicy berries and a dollop of whipped cream, or dolce de leche, chocolate sauce or caramel. This simple, not-too-sweet cake can please just about anybody.

Cooking on a Budget: Pollo al Pil Pil
There’s always room in the recipe repertoire for another good way to feature chicken, so here’s one from Chile. It’s called Pollo al Pil Pil, and the technique originally came from the Basque immigrants. In Chile, the dish will often include a local goat cheese, as well as little native eels or shellfish. This version, made accessible for American kitchens, uses only chicken. To make the recipe even easier, it uses the little chicken tenders.

Basque Inspiration
You gotta love food stories that start with a romance…they practically write themselves. Like when I was interviewing Ethan Bisagna for a story on great farmers’ market meals and he mentioned that when he was a butcher at Clyde Common he met a kindred spirit in sous-chef Ashley Brown. I had to restrain myself from shouting, “Gold!”
