Fabada asturiana tradicional
Who wouldn’t crave a good plate of Asturian fabada? In this post, we’ll show you how to prepare it so that it turns out uniquely delicious.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 kg of beans
- 2 La Unión chorizos
- 2 La Unión black puddings
- 300 g of La Unión pancetta
- 150 g of La Unión cured pork shoulder
- Extra virgin olive oil, water, and salt
First, soak the beans in cold water the night before. You can also soak the pancetta and the pork shoulder to adjust the salt level.
Place the beans in a pot, covered with water, about 2-3 fingers above the beans, and add a splash of extra virgin olive oil. Then, add the meat.
Once it starts boiling, you can “scare” the beans by adding a bit of cold water once or twice. The cooking time in a pressure cooker is around 30 minutes, while in a traditional pot, it’s about 2 and a half hours.
The fabada improves a lot with some resting time, a few hours, or even from one day to the next.
Enjoy it!
