Fabada Asturiana, often simply known as Fabada, is a rich bean
stew, originally from and most commonly found in
Asturias, but widely available throughout
Spain and in Spanish restaurants world-wide. Fabada is made with dried large white
beans (fabas, soaked overnight before use), shoulder of
pork (lacón), black
blood sausage (morcilla), spicy sausage (
chorizo),
saffron (azafrán), and seasonings. It is a distant cousin of the
cassoulet of southern
France. Fabada is a heavy dish and for that reason is most commonly eaten at lunch. Fabada is usually served with bread and Asturian cider.
