The Basque kitchen is considered one of the best in Europe, but not with original, sophisticated recipes, and use fresh ingredients. The Basques't taken long to store food. When ripe vegetables, Basques eat a dish of vegetables, if slaughtered sheep, eat sheep. The culture of long-term food storage (salting, marinating, freezing) in Basque is practically absent. Traditional Basque cuisine is almost not used roasting (Basques prefer to simmer and cook foods), as well as pepper and spice. Here's a chicken stewed in vegetables, cook peplum.
