Basque breakfast sandwich (pintxos arraultza)

This is a pintxos, which is like a tapas. The difference is tapas are free and pintxos you pay for. This one comes from the Basque country, on the coast of Spain, a rich region full of heritage. It is one of my favourite regions in Spain. Life there is so easy, so relaxed, no stress. This pintxo is called arraultza, and it's basically an open-faced sandwich with chorizo, caramelised onion, and an egg. I love chorizo so much. They have a great texture, great perfume, and they remind me so much of the chorizo that my father used to make at the farm when I was growing up.
