Traditional Basque Country Recipe: Axoa Beef Stew

Traditional Basque Country Recipe: Axoa Beef Stew

Today on the YouTube channel, I’m sharing my first cooking video!

I attempted to make axoa, a traditional stew from Iparralde, the Northern Basque Country, AKA the French Basque Country. I rarely cook meat, so this was a little bit of a struggle for me, but the result was delicious! Watch me attempt this Basque dish in today’s video.

I’ve been having a lot of fun this summer leading Basque walking tours of San Francisco. When I was in the research and development stages for this tour I had a lot of help from Ana Iriartborde. Ana was an invaluable resource because she and her husband Ganix used to run the Des Alpes Basque hotel and restaurant in San Francisco. She was kind enough to share with me a few of her recipes from the Des Alpes years. She even gave me permission to share them all with you, so I hope you enjoy them!
