Fabada Asturiana is a traditional Spanish dish hailing from the Asturias region. This hearty stew features creamy white beans, chorizo, morcilla (blood sausage), and pork, slow-cooked with saffron and paprika for a rich, smoky flavor. Dating back to the 19th century, it was originally a humble peasant dish but has since become a staple of Spanish cuisine. Renowned chefs like José Andrés have popularized it in the US, while in Spain, restaurants like Casa Gerardo in Prendes and El Raitán in Oviedo are celebrated for their authentic Fabada. The key to a perfect Fabada lies in the quality of the ingredients, especially the beans and chorizo. For a twist, some chefs add a dash of cider for a tangy kick. If you're in Spain, seeking out a local, family-run restaurant is often the best way to savor the most authentic and delicious Fabada Asturiana.
