About Fabada asturiana
Asturias Tourism publishes El Llar de Viri’s fabada asturiana, built around large white fabes and a collection of meats called compango. This rendition includes chorizo, morcilla, lacón and panceta, with pig’s foot selected from the additional meat choices.
The beans cook with the meats, taking their savoury flavour into the broth. Salt completes the main seasoning; a garlic-and-paprika refrito is offered as an optional finish.
The tender beans and assorted meats make up the body of the dish. The recipe keeps the meats within the bean preparation, with water replenished during the long simmer.
