Time:
3 h 30 m
Difficulty:
Easy
Ingredients
400 g of white beans
1 Spanish chorizo
1 Spanish black pudding
150 g of smoked bacon
1 teaspoon of sweet paprika
1 or 2 bay leaves
2 or 3 threads of saffron (optional)
Salt
Directions
The night before, soak the beans in a large bowl covered with cold water. Let them soak for 8-12 hours.
Drain the beans and rinse them with cold water.
Place them in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to boil.
As soon as the water boils, “scare” the beans, that is, to stop the boiling with some cold water.
Then add the chorizo, black pudding, bacon, bay leaf, the paprika and the saffron. The latter previously lightly crushed in a mortar.
Simmer over medium-low heat for about 3 hours. While boiling “scare” beans again twice with cold water or if the stew needs some more liquid.
When the beans are tender, remove the chorizo, the black pudding and the bacon.
Cut the bacon into chunks and cut the chorizo and black pudding into slices one centimeter thick.
Salt the beans to taste and put it back the chorizo, the lack pudding and the bacon. Remove the bay leaf.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes more to blend flavors.
It is done. Enjoy!
Hints, Tips, and Tricks
This stew of white beans or “fabada asturiana” can be consumed immediately or be prepared in advance, because it is very good reheated.
You can add two peeled garlic cloves, a whole onion and a drizzle of olive oil extra virgin at the beginning of the simmering. Although I prefer not to use them.
You can also add a ham bone, and/or an extra piece of chorizo or black pudding as you wish.
If you want to make a lighter version of this bean stew, degrease the chorizo and the black pudding by cooking them with water in a saucepan before. Add them to the bean stew halfway.
