During both summer or winter, enjoy an Escalibada in Catalonia

Sometimes it's best to just keep things simple, and this dish certianly does, delivering big flavour with the smallest amount of food preparation. Its main ingredients are red peppers and aubergine, chargrilled until the skins blacken, covered with a plate to cool, then peeled and sliced into strips for presentation. Here’s a trick: do not put them under cold water - they'll lose the juice that gives them so much flavour. In many places, people enjoy escalibada on toasted bread smeared in tomato, oil and salt, with anchovies and onions or tuna. One of the most traditional restaurants where you can try this dish is Origens (Calle Ramon y Cajal, 12, Barcelona).
