Bar 44 will be celebrating the world famous Catalan tradition of eating calçotonions, with a selection from Valls in Tarragona this month. This festival celebrates the harvest of the calçot, a Catalan spring onion. Spanish food lovers can enjoy the ritual which involves grilling calçots over an open barbeque, before stripping back the skins, dipping them in a Romesco sauce and eating them with their fingers. Penarth’s Bar 44 held Wales first Catalan Onion Festival in 2014, and now Cardiff’s branch is continuing the tradition.
