Traditionally, this is a romesco type sauce made with ground almonds, hazelnuts, breadcrumbs, garlic, tomato and roast peppers. They have competitions to make the best and, in true catalan style, the best are made from scratch using freshly roasted tomatoes and peppers and lovingly combines with a mortar and pestle.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s served with calcots, which I can only describe as giant spring onions which are roasted over hot flames, then consumed by peeling off the charred outer and dipping into the sauce. It&#8217;s lovely!<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;m a lazy chef. And I don&#8217;t want breadcrumbs. So this is my own version. It&#8217;s pretty garlic-y. And I needed something to spread it on as calcot season is now over and I&#8217;ll have to wait until February before being able to get them again. In fact, the sauce might just disappear from the shops soon as well! Luckily. I&#8217;ll have this one.<\/p>\n<p>And it makes a shedload (of spread). The flatbreads, they didn&#8217;t last so long in the house!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To follow on from my Very British Scotch Eggs, I decided to tackle the very Catalan calcot sauce.
