Saint Stephen Spain

Saint Stephen's Day is a public holiday in Barcelona and throughout Spain. On Saint Stephen’s Day (Boxing Day), a relatively recent tradition in Catalonia is to eat cannelloni. Compared to Italian cannelloni recipes, in the Catalan version the meat is cooked first and then minced. Other traditional Catalan Saint Stephen’s Day dishes used to be “Arròs de la catedral” or “arròs colls-i-punys,” which were mostly made from the leftovers of Christmas lunch, until cannelloni became popular in the 19th century.
