[...] jennifer? i told you i was going to make this and i did. and then i bought the book because ‘sunday suppers at lucques‘ by suzanne goin is most definitely a must own. and romesco is a must have in your repertoire. it works with nearly everything and although i’ve no recollection what fish this was, it was an excellent accompaniment to the romesco along with steamed broccoli.

To Marie:
Not me, that’s a Catalonian tradition and I’m Galician. But yeah, they do cut the top of the onion and then the bulb (not the leaves) is planted again.
By doing so, the onions grow wildly, kinda like leeks and they develop a milder taste. During spring, many catalonians gather in the family masías (farms) and party, with wine and grilled calçots (the overgrown onions) as the centerpiece of the feast.
They are very, VERY messy to eat, though.
The whole process was shown in this Season’s Spain episode in Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations.
I’m still mad the punk has visited most of Spain but Galicia, though.

That does look delicious, I don’t know if I could handle all the chiles, but I could adapt it to my wussy palate.

You obviously need to come out to California. We’ll meet you in L.A. and go to Lucques together.

Interesting! I lived in Spain years ago and never had romesco, what a shame! Just a couple of days ago Jacques Pepin was making it on TV, I thought it would overpower the striped bass he put it on, what do you think?

Sorry! me again. Question for Marcos: you really cut the tops off onions…and cut the green, leafy leaf, and plant it???

Pee Ess: the mackerel looks gorgeous, btw – and the sliced roasted potatoes with fish on top made me miss my mom…
