Deborah woont in Andorra en blogt op Francesca Kookt! over authentieke Catalaanse en Marokkaanse gerechten. Vandaag staan de canelons (cannelloni) de nadal op het menu, een typisch gerecht wat in Andorra op 1e Kerstdag wordt geserveerd.

In Catalunya and Andorra it is tradition to cook for Christmas Sopa de Galets and Canelons de Carn. Both dishes are typical catalan. The recipes go from generation to generation. My grandmother thaught me how to make canelons years ago when I was a little girl, and this is the recipe that I still use every Christmas. But there are lots of varieties of recipes with the same basis. This year my grandmother is making the Sopa de Galets for the 24th, and I am making the Canelons for the 25th.
