Exploring Calcot Onions: A Spanish Culinary Delight!
Calcot onions, although similar to spring onions, stand out with their larger size, typically reaching around 20cm in length. This unique vegetable is a culinary gem exclusive to Catalonia in Spain, celebrated for its distinct flavour and texture.
Harvested in Late Winter
One of the defining characteristics of Calcot onions is their harvesting time, which occurs in late winter. This timing contributes to their exceptional taste and tenderness, as they develop under the unique climatic conditions of the region.
Cooking & Serving Suggestions
The most popular way to savour Calcot onions is through grilling and steaming. Cooked over an open flame or on a hot grill, the onions are wrapped in layers of newspaper, creating a charred exterior while sealing in their natural juices. This method yields a delightful contrast of flavours and textures, with a smoky, sweet flesh beneath the chargrilled skin.
Celebrating Calcotada
In Catalonia, the appreciation for Calcot onions culminates in the vibrant festival known as Calcotada. This annual event brings together locals and visitors alike to revel in the culinary tradition surrounding this remarkable root vegetable. From communal gatherings to elaborate feasts, Calcotada showcases the versatility and charm of Calcot onions, cementing their status as a cultural icon.
