According to the food writer N\u00e9stor Luj\u00e1n, they were first served at the Beco del Rac\u00f3 inn, a meeting place for the city\u2019s bourgeoisie. For years they were a treat for well-off households, because the pasta had to be made by hand.<\/p><p>Catalonia made the dish its own: the Italian tomato sauce gave way to b\u00e9chamel, and the filling came to be made with roasted meat. In the first half of the 20th century, dried pasta from the El Pavo brand took it into every kitchen, and on the morning of St Stephen\u2019s Day (26 December) families gathered to chop the meat left over from Christmas and roll the cannelloni. As the Catalan saying goes, \u201cSant Esteve, dia de canelons, per conservar tradicions\u201d: St Stephen\u2019s, the day for cannelloni, to keep traditions alive.<\/p><p>The chef Josep Lladonosa sums it up: every house has its own formula. Manuel V\u00e1zquez Montalb\u00e1n, in <em>La cocina de los mediterr\u00e1neos<\/em>, gives the classic version, with b\u00e9chamel and a touch of tomato. Ours is this one: roast chicken, prunes, dried apricots and pine nuts.<\/p><h2>Also on the menu<\/h2><p>To start, try the <a href=\"https:\/\/canlluis.com\/en\/salt-cod-fritters\/\">salt cod fritters<\/a> (\u20ac10.50), and for dessert, the <a href=\"https:\/\/canlluis.com\/en\/crema-catalana\/\">crema catalana<\/a> (\u20ac6.50), with the sugar burnt to order.<\/p><div class=\"cl-pc-cta\"><a class=\"cl-pc-main\" href=\"https:\/\/canlluis.com\/en\/reservations\/\">Book a table<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/canlluis.com\/en\/menu\/\">See the menu<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/canlluis.com\/en\/our-dishes\/\">All our dishes<\/a><\/div><p class=\"cl-pc-note\">Further reading: <em>\u00c0pats<\/em>, by Alba Sunyer and Clara Ant\u00fanez (Parcir Edicions Selectes i Joviat, 2022); <em>Cuina catalana<\/em>, by Borja Sierra and \u00d2scar G\u00f3mez (Montagud Editores); <em>La cuina catalana<\/em>, by Josep Lladonosa i Gir\u00f3 (Rosa dels Vents, 2022); and <em>La cocina de los mediterr\u00e1neos<\/em>, by Manuel V\u00e1zquez Montalb\u00e1n (Ediciones B, 2002).<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3268","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
