Calçots con romesco | Grilled spring onions with roasted tomatoes and nuts sauce

The Catalonian sauce for this dish is more famous than the main ingredient itself but in the last decade, they have raised in popularity to the point that these particularly sweet and large spring onions have become quite a thing in Spanish restaurants outside of Spain. It is very regional and in Catalonia, they make a huge celebration called “Calçotadas” in January and is a day that brings everyone together to enjoy them cooked over the BBQ. They are so messy to eat that even bibs are given away so you don’t spoil your clothes. If you get hold of these beauties, invite your neighbors over and make your own “Calçotada”, the fun will be guaranteed!
