Escalivada is a typical preparation of
Catalan cuisine that consists of several types of grilled vegetables like
eggplants (genus
Solanum), sweet red peppers (genus
Capsicum), red
tomatoes, and sweet
onions. Once well cooked on the grill, those vegetables are peeled and sliced in strips, the seeds removed, and seasoned with
olive oil and
salt, and sometimes with
garlic as well.
