SUMMARY:Charity Calçotada\, Toulouges
DESCRIPTION:Calçotada in aid of the Restos du Coeur\nparc clairfont de Toulouges \n \nA great chance to sample this  tradtional Catalan lunch\, consisting of apero\, BBQ\, calçots\, dessert wine and coffee\, and  support the Restos du Coeur charity. Musical entertainment\, tradition and an opportunity to help out a worthy cause. \n\n\n\nReservations on 04 68 85 04 53 or 09 72 97 50 31\n20 euros.\n\n\n\n \nThis Catalan tradition can leave you in a fine old mess\, but onion lovers will sigh with pleasure at these ‘calçots’ (pronounced cal-show) served up with a ’sauce romesco’  at a convivial ‘calçotada\,’ (communal calçot get-together) and accompanied by entertainment\, live music and dancing. \nCalçots are a variety of long\, thick green onion (rather like skinny leeks) that have their peak season in January\, February\, and March. They are normally cooked on a barbecue and turned and turned until entirely blackened outside and soft and sweet inside. They are traditionally served on an upturned terracotta roof tile\, dipped in salvitxada or romesco sauce\,  and accompanied by red wine or cava. \nIf you don’t know of a ‘calçotada’ in a village near you\, they can be ordered at many typical Catalan restaurants\, particularly in south Catalonia. They will probably supply you with a bib\, and some may even offer gloves! \nTraditionally\, sausages or lamb are served up after the calçots\, followed by crema Catalana. \nTo eat\, peel off the blackened outer layer\, dip liberally into the sauce\, hold above the head and start from the bottom that is dripping in sauce. \n \n  \n\n\n\nThe Catalan tradition for an “-ada” (a meal\, usually for many mouths\, based around a single ingredient which could be anything from snails to chocolate – bullinada\, cargolada etc)\, often creates some highly unusual\, charming and community spirited festivals. Usually grilled or barbequed.\n\n\n\n \n
