“The Catalan have an incredible culinary tradition of celebrating calçots, essentially spring onions, as the centerpieces of open fire grilling parties called, aptly, calçocadas. Served with romesco sauce, they are aromatic and delectable. Delicious as a side or starter, with a piece of grilled meat or fish, or fried eggs and toast for brunch!”
