Back to the kitchen with our blog. Today we complete a chapter about traditional Basque Recipes (if possible to do this in the case of Donostia) that we opened 2 months ago. In our article you’ll find more recipes and restaurants to enjoy during your stay at our hotel in San Sebastian.

The Zurrukutuna consists of 400 grs. cod , 250 grs. green pepper , 8 chorizo peppers , 4 cloves of garlic, 200 grams . of toast , 4 eggs, broth and parsley.

The Zurrukutuna is cod that has been soaked previously had the day before.

Poco antes de terminar se añaden los huevos sin batir para que se hagan sobre la masa. Sobre los huevos se espolvorea una pizca de perejil picado y se deja sobre el fuego hasta que se hagan los huevos.
