Time 11h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound dried Asturian fabada beans or dried lima beans
¼ pound salt pork
10 cups water
½ teaspoon crushed saffron threads
8 ounces serrano ham, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
8 ounces Spanish chorizo sausage, casing removed, sliced 1/2-inch thick
8 ounces morcilla sausage or blood sausage, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Cover beans with ample hot water and allow to stand overnight.
  • Fill a Dutch oven 1/2 full with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add salt pork, and allow to boil for 5 minutes, then remove. Pour out water.
  • Drain water from beans and place them into Dutch oven. Pour in 10 cups of water, then bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 15 minutes, skimming and discarding the foam that forms on top. Stir in saffron, salt pork, and diced ham; simmer for 5 minutes. Add the chorizo and morcilla sausages, and cook for 5 minutes more. Skim any foam that forms on top.
  • Reduce heat to low, add bay leaf, cover, and simmer until the beans are tender, 2 to 3 hours, adding water if needed to keep beans moist. Allow beans to stand for 20 minutes off of the heat before serving.

This fabada was simply delicious! The beans were perfectly cooked, the broth was rich and flavorful, and the chorizo added a nice smokiness. I will definitely be making this again.

This fabada was a bit too salty for my taste, but it was still very good. The beans were cooked perfectly, and the broth was very flavorful. I would recommend using less salt next time.

This fabada was very good, but it was a lot of work. I think I would use canned beans next time to save time. Otherwise, the recipe was very good. The broth was very flavorful, and I loved the smokiness of the chorizo.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this fabada without the chorizo. It was still very good! The beans were cooked perfectly, and the broth was very flavorful. I added some extra vegetables, such as carrots and celery, to make it even more hearty.
