Coca de recapte is a traditional coca variety that's commonly found in Catalonia and Valencia. In Catalonia, this is the most common coca variety which is often sold in bakeries. It consists of a thin bread-dough base that's topped with eggplants and roasted peppers (known as escalivada) in addition to tomatoes and onions.

The locals claim that this coca variety was invented in the area of Tarragona and Lleida. Coca de recapte is traditionally eaten cold, and the word recapte in the name of the dish means something like what you have in stock, referring to the fact that the cooks add ingredients which are usually staples of Catalan kitchens.

The dough is made with flour, salt, olive oil, yeast, sugar, and warm water, while the topping is made with a combination of eggplants, red bell peppers, onions, olive oil, tomatoes, salt, and sugar. Sometimes, fish such as sardines are added to coca de recapte for even more texture and flavor than it already has.
