Fabada (Asturian Fava Bean Stew)
- 1 pound dry fava beans
- 1 pound pork shoulder
- 1/4 pound pancetta or bacon
- 2 pieces morcilla
- 2 pieces chorizo
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Spanish onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 handful flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
- 1 piece lemon, for finishing (optional)
- DO AHEAD: cover beans in water and soak overnight or until tender.
- Add olive oil and garlic to a cold, dutch oven. Turn heat to medium low. When garlic is translucent, add onion, stir occasionally.
- In a separate large pan over medium heat, add a glug of olive oil and brown bacon. Add to onion mixture with 1/2 of the drippings.
- Time to strain the beans and toss them in with the rest of your pork products. Cover all ingredients with cold water. Bring to a boil and then turn heat down. Cover and simmer for at least an hour.
- Test pork products for doneness. Cut into the morcilla and chorizo to see if they're fully cooked.
- When ready to serve, chop parsley. Cut morcilla and chorizo into quarters and serve a couple pieces in each bowl with some pork shoulder too. Serve the fabada hot, with parsley and slices of lemon for squeezing on top.
