Go Nuts for Calcots!

Go nuts for Calcots!

Prepare to get messy!
When friends gather to eat calçots and party together it is known as a calçotada. The calçots are grilled over the barbecue until charred and then wrapped in newspapers to keep them tender and are typically served on terracotta roof tiles to keep them warm. To eat a calçot you must first peel away the outer layer blackened by the fire to get to the soft white inside, then dip it in the sauce and then eat it all in one go – so be prepared to get messy!
