Ingredients

Recipe Description: 

Fabada Asturiana is a rich stew from the Asturias region of Northern Spain. Fava beans are typically used in this dish but if you can’t find them butter beans or white cannellini beans is a good substitute. All different types of meat are used in this dish, sausage, ham hocks and leftover bits of meat are often included. This is a rich stew perfect to pair with a green salad and crusty bread.
