Calçots
Calcots, similar to spring onions, are a traditional Catalan winter food. They're usually grilled and eaten with a Romesco-like sauce. A calçotada is a gathering dedicated to eating them. This impressive display is from the farm-to-table resturant we ate at with Henry's classmates last year.
Calcots are sold in large bundles of 25 during the winter, when they are in season. They are really easy to prepare - simply lay them on a hot grill for about 5 minutes - no need even to wash them beforehand. Then you simply peel off the outermost layer, dip in sauce and eat them from the bottom up. This is best done outside but it was a bit too chilly for that.
