Fabada de Prendes, for 4 people<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/span><\/p>\n

500 kg of dried beans or 1 kg of fresh beans (in this case there is no soaking)<\/span><\/p>\n

2 Asturian black pudding<\/span><\/p>\n

2 Asturian chorizos<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/4 of a saffron sachet<\/span><\/p>\n

A small piece of unsalted bacon<\/span><\/p>\n

60cl of oil<\/span><\/p>\n

1 teaspoon chopped onion<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Salt to taste<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bc teaspoon sweet paprika<\/span><\/p>\n

200cl of chicken broth<\/span><\/p>\n

1 small piece of pork<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

METHOD:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Soak the beans in cold water the night before you plan to make your fabada.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. First, cook the chorizos, bacon and black pudding in water (just enough to cover them in the pan) for 10 minutes to degrease them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Now, in a separate pan, bring the beans to a slow boil and scoop out the foam that starts to form on top of the water. Boil for approximately 20 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. \u00a0Add the oil, chopped onion and sweet paprika to the pan with the beans.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Next, add a little water to the saffron to make a little broth and then tip this into the fabada also.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Season the beans with salt and pepper then, turn off the heat and let the beans rest.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Turn the heat back to low and cook slowly for an hour and a half, making sure to top up the broth they\u2019re cooked in so that they don\u2019t boil dry.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. The fabada will be ready when the beans are still holding their shape but soft enough that they taste creamy and delicate.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    PRESENTATION\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Traditionally, we present the beans and the meat separately.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The broth must be somewhat thick; if it is very liquid, it is advisable to pass some beans through a sieve and incorporate them into the pot to thicken the broth.<\/span><\/p>\n
