Cómo hacer calçots

romesco sauce

🥗Healthier: salsa verde

💰Cheaper: tomato sauce

Salsa verde offers a fresh flavor while being lighter.

Cut off the roots of each calçot carefully to avoid cutting too much and making them fall apart.

Separate the big calçots from the tiny calçots for even cooking.

Thread a steel wire through the bulbs of the calçots to join them together.

Place the calçots directly on the fire using a steel grill for easier turning.

Wait until the calçots are burned on the side in direct contact with the fire.

Turn the calçots over once they have a charred appearance.

Continue adding more batches of calçots to the fire as others are cooking.

Once the calçots start to boil inside, they are ready to be removed from the fire.

Pack the cooked calçots using newspaper, rolling them together and placing them in a bag or stacking them to keep warm.

Unpack the calçots and peel off the burned outer layer by grabbing the green end and pulling down.

Soak the peeled calçots in romesco sauce before eating.
