Calçot
Calçot ((:kəɫˈsɔt)) is a type of scallion or green onion known as ''calçot'' in the Catalan language from Girona, Catalonia. The calçot from Valls (Tarragona, Catalonia) is a registered EU Protected Geographical Indication.〔(Els "Calçots" )〕
Calçots are milder and less bulbous than onions and have a length of between 15 and 25 cm (white part) and a diameter of 1.7 to 2.5 cm at the root. Planted in trenches, like an onion, as a single bulb, and successively increasing the depth of the soil around the stems throughout autumn and winter, they sprout into 4-10 shoots, roughly the shape of small leeks.
Calçotada is an annual event in Tarragona, Catalonia celebrating the harvest of Calçot. It is grilled on high fire, wrapped up in newspaper, served on terra cotta tiles and eaten after peeling with bare hands by dipping one by one in romesco sauce along with an accompaniment of red wine and bread. It is followed by roasted lamb meat and sausage and white beans, For desert oranges and white cava.〔A Catalan Barbecue March/ April 2014 page 112 AFAR〕
==Origin==
The origin of the variety is disputed, but one of the most commonly accepted versions () of its history is that they were developed by Xat de Benaiges, a peasant farmer from Valls around the turn of the 20th century. He is said to have been the first to have planted the sprouts of garden onions, covering them with earth so a longer portion of the stems remained white and edible. That action is known in Catalan as ''calçar,'' (a Catalan agricultural term which means to cover the trunk of a plant or vegetable with soil. As the plant grows, soil is continuously added, i.e., "calçar"), hence the name ''calçot''.
