Fried green onions or calçots may seem like a very simple dish. However after you try this Barcelona specialty, you'll likely change your mind. Calçots are grilled over an open fire barbecue, then wrapped in newspaper to make them tender and served on terracota to keep the warmth. Healthy and delicious snack in Catalan style.
