The tiny, tender squid known as chipirons are a beloved delicacy in Basque cuisine. These chipirons are selected and cooked whole and paired with sauce basquaise: a delicately spiced sauce with tomato and onion that combines wonderfully with the mild sweet taste of squid.

Serving these chipirons is easy. Dish them up hot or cold as part of your next apéritif or tapas night. You can also enjoy them over rice for a simple, delicious meal that’s authentically Basque. Make sure you have some fresh bread to finish the sauce. Once open, they will keep for 24 hours in a suitable container in the fridge.
