Sukalki
Sukalki is a typical dish of Basque cuisine. It is typically a beef or beef blood sausage stew or casserole with potatoes and other vegetables.[1][2] It is a complete meal that can be served with no side dishes but only bread.[1]
The dish is the focus of multiple cooking competitions.[3]
Ingredients[edit]
Sukalki consists of meat, onion, carrot, choricero peppers, peas, potato, broth, oil, and garlic, with salt and sauce to taste.[4]
Importance[edit]
According to El Espagnol, sukalki is the most popular potato and meat stew in Basque cuisine.[3]
In Basque cultural celebrations, it is customary to hold cooking competitions, wherein sukalki is often used as the standard meal to be made.[2][3][5]
The Mungia competition, the namesake of the Sukalki Eguna gastronomic festival, has been held since 1964 and is one of the largest; in 2022 it had nearly 200 entries.[6][7]
