Pintxos

The crown jewels of Basque Country cuisine, pintxos (pronounced 'peen-chos') are elaborate bite-sized creations served on slices of bread, each skewered with a toothpick. This recipe features the classic Gilda, the original pintxo named after Rita Hayworth's film, along with a selection of traditional combinations that line the bars of San Sebastián and Bilbao.
