Asturian Bean Stew

What is Asturian bean stew?

Asturian fabada bean stew (fabada asturiana) is one of the most traditional and typical dishes of Spain. Its origin lies in Asturian cuisine, being the star dish of the Asturias region and is made up of the famous dry fabes beans and the Asturian compango formed by the star trio: chorizo, blood sausage and bacon.

Asturian bean stew is probably one of the most popular spoon dishes, as well as Madrid stew or Valencian paella, but fabada is characterized by being a winter recipe that is usually served at noon as lunch.
