Fabada image

I faithfully watched the foodie/travel show, Spain - On the Road Again, all winter. I made this recipe and it was delicious. As we don't have blood sausage in Greece, I subbed a pound of a local, dry sausage.

Time 3h20m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb dried fava beans, soaked overnight in water to cover (large white Asturian beans, or substitute other large white beans)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch saffron thread
1/2 tablespoon spanish smoked paprika (pimenton)
8 garlic cloves
1/2 smoked ham hock
1/2 lb thick slab bacon
1/2 lb spanish chorizo
1/2 lb blood sausage (morcilla was used in the original)
1 small onion, halved

Steps:

  • Drain the beans. Put them in a large pot, add water to cover by 2 inches, and bring to a boil. Skim off any foam, lower the heat to a simmer, and add the olive oil, saffron, pimentón, garlic, ham hock, and bacon. Simmer for 1 hour, adding more water as necessary to keep the beans covered.
  • Add the chorizo, morcilla, and onion and simmer for another 2 hours, or until the beans are very soft; add water as necessary to keep the beans and meats covered. Remove from the heat, remove the meats, and let cool slightly. Remove the meat from the ham hock and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Cut the bacon into 1-inch chunks and cut the sausages into thick slices. Discard the garlic and onion, ladle the beans into bowls, and nestle the various meats in the beans.

This recipe was a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added some extra garlic and paprika, and I used a different type of sausage.

This was the best fabada I've ever had! The beans were so creamy and the sauce was so flavorful.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

I've tried many fabada recipes, and this one is by far the best. The beans are always perfectly cooked and the sauce is so flavorful.

Not a fan of this recipe. The beans were mushy and the sauce was too thick.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I ended up adding a lot of extra spices to give it some flavor.

Loved how easy this was to make. I added some extra chorizo and it was a hit with my family. Will definitely be making this again!
