This classic Basque dish, which means “beans from Tolosa” in Spanish, celebrates the delicious Tolosa bean. These eponymous beans are so highly regarded that the city has a weeklong festival each year to celebrate them. Tolosa beans can be hard to find, but we encourage you to use them if you can find them. Black beans are a suitable replacement for Tolosa beans, but will not have the same sweet delicate flavor.
