About Spanish bean stew

Spanish Bean Stew, or "Fabada Asturiana," is a hearty dish from Spain's Asturias region, celebrated for its rich flavors and nourishing qualities. Traditionally, this stew features white beans (often fava), chorizo, morcilla (blood sausage), and pork, simmered with olive oil, garlic, onion, and paprika for a smoky aroma. While rich in protein and iron due to the meat, its primary health highlight is the fiber-packed beans, which support digestion and heart health. The olive oil adds healthy fats and antioxidants, making it a staple of the Mediterranean diet. However, the dish can be high in sodium and saturated fats due to cured meats. For a lighter version, leaner proteins and reduced-sodium options can be used. Perfect for cold days, this stew is a comfort food with deep cultural roots and a balance of indulgence and nutritional benefits.
