It\u2019s cal\u00e7otada<\/strong> season, one of the most beloved gastronomic traditions<\/strong> of the Mediterranean.

But what exactly is a cal\u00e7otada<\/strong>? It\u2019s a food celebration centered around the cal\u00e7ot<\/strong>, a long onion<\/strong> with a white stalk<\/strong> and green leaves<\/strong> grown especially for this season. Cal\u00e7ots are cooked directly over an open flame until the outer layer becomes black and charred, while the inside turns soft and juicy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once cooked, they are wrapped in paper to keep warm. To eat them, you peel them with your hands, dip them generously in romesco sauce, lift them high and drop them straight into your mouth. It\u2019s a fun and very Mediterranean way to enjoy this seasonal delicacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, there\u2019s one important detail: the cal\u00e7ots are just the beginning<\/strong>. Once the embers are hot<\/strong> and ready, it\u2019s the perfect moment to place a selection of meat on the grill<\/strong>. <\/span>That\u2019s where Ramaders Agrupats comes in.
