This is based on a recipe from Jeff Smith’s The Frugal Gourmet On Our Immigrant Ancestors cookbook. He says, “The Basques have always enjoyed dishes that we usually call paellas. The Spanish influence is afoot here, to be sure, but the Basques do not create such flamboyant dishes with meat and rice as the Spanish do. It is more like an everyday and expected course in the meal. And it is delicious.” I haven’t tried this yet.
