🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 1 can cooked white Asturian Fabes “beans” (390 g), drained and rinsed

• 2 Chorizo Fresco Tradicional, sliced into thick pieces

• 1 tablespoon caramelized onion

• 1 Ñora “dried Spanish pepper”

• 2 garlic cloves

• 10 almonds

• 200 ml water

• Salt, to taste

👨‍🍳 Preparation

1. Sauté the chorizo
   Slice the chorizo into 4–5 cm pieces. Heat a pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and sauté the chorizo until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.

2. Build the flavor base
   In the same pan, sauté the whole peeled garlic cloves and almonds until lightly golden. Remove and reserve. Quickly toast the dried pepper for a few seconds on each side.

3. Blend the sauce
   In a tall container, add the caramelized onion, garlic, almonds, dried pepper, and 150 ml of water. Blend until smooth.

4. Combine everything
   Add the beans to a pot along with the sautéed chorizo, the blended sauce, and the remaining 50 ml of water. Stir well and adjust salt if needed.

5. Finish cooking
   Cook over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to come together.

🍽️ Serving Suggestion

Serve hot with crusty bread to enjoy every drop of the rich, chorizo-infused sauce. This dish pairs beautifully with a glass of Spanish red wine and makes an excellent tapas-style meal or comforting main course.
