The Gran Fiesta de la Calçotada is returning on Sundays with a special menu to celebrate the harvest of the Calçot!
In Valls, the epicentre of the Calçotada, large bunches of this Catalan onion, fresh from the earth, are grilled over an open fire until charred then wrapped in newspaper.
The calçots are peeled with bare hands, dunked in romesco sauce made from almonds and peppers, and devoured. True to the Catalonian spirit, it is a great excuse to get together, talk, party and more importantly eat onions!
For £50 per head, Morito diners can experience a taste of the Gran Fiesta de la Calçotada in Hackney!
