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 is a bit too bland for my taste. I'll have to add more spices next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a very affordable dish to make.

I'm not sure why, but my fabada didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. I'll have to try it again.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less paprika next time.

I'm a vegetarian, but I still enjoyed this recipe. I used vegetable broth instead of ham broth and it turned out great.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fabada turned out mushy. I'll have to try it again.

The fabada was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good.
