ASTURIAN FABA Beans

VARIETY: Asturian Faba Beans
ORIGIN:  Asturias (SPAIN)
Asturian faba beans are large, ivory-white beans with fine texture and incredibly delicious flavor. Faba beans are the key ingredient in many dishes, such as partridge, clams, pixín (monkfish), and a wide range of other seafood including octopus, salmon, and lobster. Dishes like these are especially common in the coastal towns of Asturias. Cooked fabes can also be eaten cold, “a la vinagreta”. But mostly fabes end up as fabada, the most traditional dish of Asturias, so famous in Spanish cuisine. Fabada is essentially a variant of the Spanish stew of pulses with mixed meats. Its other main ingredient, apart from the fabes, can be: salted lard, lacón, chorizo, and morcilla.
