To be eaten while drinking Austurian Cider, preferably from your own tap
ingredients
- 2 pounds dried fava beans (large white Asturian beans; or substitute other large white beans), soaked overnight in water to cover
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Pinch of saffron threads
- 1 tablespoon hot pimentón (Spanish smoked paprika)
- 1 head garlic, cut in half across the bulb
- 1 smoked ham hock
- 1 pound slab bacon
- 1 pound Spanish chorizo
- 1 pound morcilla (blood sausage)
- 1 onion, halved
directions
- 1
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.
