Tips and recipe

It is the base of the traditional dish of Asturian gastronomy known as fabada asturiana, which also contains chorizo, blood sausage, bacon and sometimes other ingredients such as pork shoulder or bacon.

Before cooking the fabada asturiana beans, it is important to soak them in water for at least 8 hours or overnight. This will help to soften the beans and reduce the cooking time. Once soaked, it is advisable to cook the beans in fresh water with salt and a bay leaf for at least two hours over medium-low heat until tender. It is important not to add salt or acidic ingredients such as tomatoes at the beginning of the cooking process, as they can make it difficult to cook the beans. Add the meats (chorizo, blood sausage, bacon, etc.) during the last hour of cooking so that they simmer and integrate well with the beans.

It is ideal for preparing fabada asturiana, but it can also be used in other recipes such as salads, stews, soups or stews.
