Spanish Basque immigrants first arrived in the United States in the mid-1800s. This recipe contains typical ingredients found in a Basque lamb stew, which is often served at traditional family-style restaurants in the Basque communities that can still be found throughout the Pacific Northwest and West. I suggest you cook it until the meat is just about to fall off the bone.
Cooks' Note
Suggested Beverage: Any gutsy, hearty red wine such as a Zinfandel, Syrah, a Spanish import, or even, if one can be found on rare occasion, a Basque wine.
