As autumn deepens and the air in Barcelona fills with the scent of roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes, we celebrate Tots Sants—a time for reflection, remembrance, and sharing comforting seasonal flavors.
At Barcelona Cooking, we love how this season transforms the city. The market stalls are piled high with castanyes (chestnuts), panellets, and boniatos (sweet potatoes), each a symbol of the warmth and simplicity of La Castanyada. This year, we’re celebrating the holiday with a creative twist on one of these classics: our Roasted Boniato with Spicy Honey Burrata.
This dish brings together the humble, caramelized sweetness of the boniato with the rich creaminess of burrata and a touch of heat from chili honey. The result is a balance of flavors that feels both comforting and exciting. Perfect for the cozy evenings that mark this time of year.
Why we love it:
- It honors the Catalan tradition of roasting boniato while adding a modern Mediterranean touch.
- The spicy honey adds warmth that pairs beautifully with the soft, earthy sweetness of the potato.
- It’s an easy, elegant dish to share with friends and family during Tots Sants gatherings.
So whether you’re lighting candles for loved ones, wandering through the city’s castanyeres, or just craving something that tastes like autumn, this recipe is our way of bringing the spirit of Castanyada to the table—Barcelona-style.
