Tirem

Tirem is a traditional dish from the Basque Country in northern Spain and southwestern France. It is a type of stew made with a variety of ingredients, typically including meat (such as pork, beef, or lamb), vegetables (like potatoes, carrots, and onions), and sometimes beans or lentils. The dish is often slow-cooked to allow the flavors to meld together, resulting in a hearty and comforting meal.

The name "tirem" is derived from the Basque word "tire," which means "to cook slowly." This reflects the cooking method used for the dish, which involves simmering the ingredients together for an extended period. The slow cooking process helps to break down tougher cuts of meat and tenderize the vegetables, creating a rich and flavorful stew.

Tirem is often served with a side of bread or crusty rolls to soak up the delicious broth. It is a popular dish during colder months and is often enjoyed as a main course or a hearty meal. The dish's versatility allows for various ingredients to be used, making it a favorite among home cooks and a staple in Basque cuisine.
