This is a great recipe for a hearty and flavorful stew. I love the addition of the pimentón, which gives the stew a nice smoky flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the stew turned out great! The beans were tender and flavorful, and the broth was thick and rich. I served it with some crusty bread, and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold night.
