Fabada Asturiana is a traditional Spanish dish originating from the region of Asturias. It is a hearty bean stew made primarily with large white beans called fabes de la Granja, along with various meats such as chorizo, morcilla (blood sausage), and panceta (pork belly). The dish is known for its rich flavor and is often enjoyed during colder months.
The preparation of fabada involves slow-cooking the beans and meats together with spices like saffron and paprika, which contribute to its distinctive taste and aroma. This dish is not only a staple in Asturian cuisine but also a symbol of regional pride, often served at family gatherings and celebrations.
