Best Escalivada
in Barcelona
Escalivada is a cornerstone of the Catalan vegetarian repertoire, highlighting the region's mastery of fire and smoke. The name comes from the Catalan verb 'escalivar', which means to cook in the embers. It consists of eggplant, red bell peppers, and often onions and tomatoes, roasted whole until their skins are charred and their flesh is tender. Once cooled, the vegetables are peeled, seeded, and sliced into long strips. They are then seasoned with plenty of sea salt, minced garlic, and a generous pour of extra virgin olive oil.
