escalivada (a la catalana)

Language: Catalan

Description: Most often this is a dish of roasted aubergines (US: eggplants) and peppers with onion, described to me by Geoff Martin as like a ratatouille without tomatoes. It is often served with roast lamb. The word escalivada refers to the method of cooking, in the ashes, so you may find it applied to other dishes.


Pronounced: eh-skah-lee-VAH-dah ah lah kah-tah-LOON-yah
Ethnicity: Catalan
Most frequent country: Andorra, Spain
Most frequent region: Catalonia
