Spanish Fabada is a hearty and flavorful bean stew that hails from the Asturias region of Spain. This traditional dish has been enjoyed for centuries and is a staple of Spanish cuisine. The key ingredients include large white beans, chorizo, morcilla (blood sausage), and pork. The dish is slow-cooked to allow the flavors to meld together, resulting in a rich and satisfying meal. Chefs and home cooks alike take pride in perfecting their own version of Fabada, with some adding additional ingredients such as saffron or paprika for extra depth of flavor. One renowned restaurant known for serving exceptional Fabada is Casa Gerardo in Prendes, Asturias. The best version of this dish can be found in the small, family-run restaurants in the Asturias region, where it is often enjoyed with a glass of local cider. The key to a delicious Fabada lies in the quality of the ingredients, particularly the beans and the variety of pork used. For a twist on the traditional recipe, some chefs also incorporate seafood or use different types of sausage to create their own unique spin on this classic dish.
