Fabada is the emblematic dish of Asturian gastronomy. It's very easy to make and the result is excellent.
This preparation is made with "fabes", which are very fine beans with a protected Geographical Indication, and whose production is limited. The other ingredients that go into fabada are black pudding, chorizo and bacon. These three ingredients are called "compango".
It's a dish that's going to take you no time at all, as the preparation is very easy.
Recipe:
The day before preparing the fabada, soak the "fabes" (beans) in plenty of water.
In the morning, drain the "fabes" and put them in a pot with the compango (blood sausage, chorizo, bacon), a chopped onion, two peeled garlics, whole parsley and a little olive oil.
Cover with cold water and place over the heat.
When it starts to boil, skim the surface if there's a little foam.
Leave to cook slowly, just enough to ensure a gentle boil throughout, taking care to keep it covered with water.
Once cooked, add the salt.
If the broth is too liquid, we can take a few fabes, crush them, add them and leave to cook a little longer. This will thicken the broth.
Although the recipe says it takes two hours to prepare, we recommend you leave it for 3 hours. Just taste and see how tender the beans are.
At the end, remove the onion and parsley and serve.
The service is done in such a way that the "fabes" are served on a plate and all the meat is cut into pieces and put on a plate in the middle for everyone to help themselves.
It's a very tasty and simple recipe, requiring only a short cooking time.
The preparation is for 3-4 people, so if you have more you can always cook several at a time.
