Asturian fabada: pork and beans stew















Fabada is an Asturian dish from Northern Spain made of beans and pork. I was lucky enough to buy the pork mix - tocino, morcilla, chorizo and ham - in Madrid and the fava beans you can buy in any market in Amsterdam.

Beans are always a bit of a pain to cook but I managed to restrain myself from buying canned ones and went through the whole nine yard of trouble cooking them myself. Considered the amount of gas I burnt doing that, meat might have been a more enviromentally responsible option after all, whatever the tree-hugging mafia may claim.
