Making and Canning
Basque Sauce or
Sauce Basquaise (Pipèrade)
This delightfully simple sauce from the
Basque regions of Spain and France may
be used for a multitude of different
dishes.  It is normally served with a
roasted or grilled poultry, meat or fish.
We prefer sweet Roma tomatoes and
green pimentos; however, you may use
any tomato and a mild, green pepper.
