Let's Get Started
- Preheat your barbecue to a high heat.
- Clean the calçots, removing the outer layer and cutting off the roots.
- Drizzle the calçots with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Place the calçots on the barbecue and grill for about 5 minutes on each side, until they are charred and soft.
- Wrap the calçots in newspaper to keep them warm and let them steam a bit, which makes them even more tender.
- Serve the calçots with the Romesco sauce for dipping.
