Why cooks start here
Coca de Recapte belongs to the everyday cooking of Cataluña, where it is made often enough that nobody needs the recipe written down. This home version keeps the seasoning direct and the portions generous, the way a Spanish family cook puts it on the table.
Coca de Recapte is a cherished staple of Cataluña, celebrated for its simplicity and versatility. This rustic flatbread is woven into the fabric of daily life, often emerging from home ovens without the need for written instruction. Its origins reflect the unpretentious nature of Catalonian cuisine, where local ingredients and straightforward methods shine. The dish is a delightful combination of flavors and textures: the crust is crisp yet tender, providing a hearty base for the sweet roasted bell peppers, silky eggplant, and mellow onion. Black olives add a briny contrast, all bound together with a hint of extra virgin olive oil. The result is a satisfying, savory bite that captures the essence of Catalonian home cooking.
