És temps de calçots.

Tendra, blanca i dolça. Aquesta ceba anomenada calçot ha tornat per fer-nos embogir.

Això sí, banyada en salsa romesco.

El tret de sortida a la temporada es dona, any rere any, amb una calçotada l’últim diumenge de gener, així que ja hi som de ple. Però no cal patir gaire, ja que el seu boom està allargant cada any més la temporada i la famosa ceba es pot menjar des del novembre fins a l’abril.

 

Abans de coure els calçots, se'ls escurcen les fulles més llargues i se'ls talla un tros d'arrel.

Tot seguit, i sense rentar-los ni treure'ls la terra, es posen a la graella sobre flama viva, tradicionalment de sarments de ceps. Una vegada cuits s'emboliquen amb papers de diari per tal que acabin d'estovar-se i mantinguin la calor.

S'acostumen a servir encara embolicats i posats sobre una teula.

Calçotada familiar a Constantins (El Gironès) CAT.

----------------------------------------

It's time for calçots.

 

It will be white and sweet. This onion called calçot has returned to make us crazy.

Yes, bathed in romesco sauce.

The start of the season is given, year after year, with a calçotada on the last Sunday of January, so we are already in full. But you do not have to suffer much since your boom is extending the season every year and the famous onion can be eaten from November until April.

 

Before cooking the calçots, the longest leaves are shortened and cut into a piece of root.

Then, without washing or removing the soil, they are grilled on live flame, traditionally with vine shoots. Once cooked, they wrap themselves with newspaper papers so they finish refreshing and keep warm.

They tend to serve still wrapped and laid on a tile.
