Sakari Basque sauce: a unique and authentic recipe

Sakari Basque sauce is undoubtedly the flagship product of Maison Petricorena. This spicy sauce, with its unique flavor, is the perfect accompaniment to grilled meats, plancha-cooked dishes, and many other dishes. Highly prized throughout the region, this sauce has established itself over the years and is now an essential element of local and Southwestern French cuisine.

The recipe for Sakari Basque sauce was passed down by Laurent Petricorena, a Basque shepherd who, after emigrating to Argentina, learned to season mutton in a unique way. Upon returning to the Basque Country, he expanded the family butcher shop in Saint-Étienne-de-Baïgorry and became known for organizing Zikiros, large country meals where he served roast mutton with his distinctive sauce. His son, Jean-Pierre, nicknamed "Sakari" (the scorer in Basque) for his exploits in Basque pelota, popularized this sauce, which now bears his name.

Remaining true to its origins, this sauce has been passed down from generation to generation and is now available in several versions to satisfy all tastes:

• Mild : The classic recipe that will suit all palates, ideal to accompany meats, fish, rice, pasta, eggs…
• Hot : this spicy version is perfect for lovers of heat
• With lemon : This light and tangy version is a perfect accompaniment to grilled fish and seafood.
• With olive oil : An ideal variation for marinades, or as an accompaniment to grilled vegetables or cold dishes.
• With curry : this version pairs wonderfully with all white meats
