{"product_id":"mermelada-tomate-piparra","title":"The Basque American Cross","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA long-cooked confit that crosses two registers: the Spanish-Basque piparra (the small, mildly-spicy\u0026nbsp;pickled green pepper from Ibarra and the Goierri valley) and the slow-cooked tomato confit native to\u0026nbsp;the Mediterranean canon. Whole tomatoes are reduced over low heat with sugar, vinegar and salt\u0026nbsp;until concentrated; piparras are stripped, chopped, folded in late so their fresh-herbal pickle-bright\u0026nbsp;character survives the cook; piquant pepper threads in the supporting spice. The result reads as a\u0026nbsp;tomato confit lifted by the unmistakable Basque pickle note — sweet-acid-pungent at the first taste,\u0026nbsp;vegetal-fresh under it, with the slow-cooked tomato as the lipid-binding base. Excellent on a cheese\u0026nbsp;board, beside a tortilla, on a steak, in a sandwich.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"zales-and-rego","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57141789458815,"sku":"CF-1604","price":14.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/9439\/8847\/files\/la-cruz-vasco-americana.png?v=1777969975","url":"https:\/\/www.zalesrego.com\/en\/products\/mermelada-tomate-piparra","provider":"Zales \u0026 Rego","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
