Coca de recapte

The coca de recapte is a salty cake that brings the recapte, what is there as provisions to eat, which explains the great variety.

They can be grilled or raw vegetables, typically pepper, eggplant and onion. In interior areas it is common to put mushrooms. However, other vegetables can be used or even sausage can be added, because in general cakes do not have fixed recipes, quite the opposite. It is also often made by adding herrings or anchovies. With a long tradition in Catalan cuisine, they are an option available to everyone to eat cereal in a very tasty way.

On top of a thin dough that serves as a base, any product is added that is on hand: vegetables, fish, meat... usually basic and inexpensive foods, which allow multiple combinations. The key to the coca de recapte is the tradition of "gathering", "gathering", what is in the pantry and taking it to the community oven, where the baker makes the dough and bakes what has been brought , on a thin dough of bread. Traditionally, when bread was still made in farmhouses, it was a variant that was made with what was on hand.
