Spanish Recipe > Fabada Asturiana

The Fabada Asturiana (beans from Asturias) is a typical and traditionnal recipe from Northern Spain, Asturias region. It is basically a white beans stew with usually Iberian sausages, including the famous smoked Blood Sausage from Asturias, Morcilla Asturiana.
The other interesting thing being that these Asturian beans, are very large, larger than usual, when left in water 24h their size increase and can reach 3 cm in lenght!

We are offering several brands including La Cuchara de Oro, as a precooked canned dish. Just heat it in a pan for minutes and serve, or use microwave.
