A rich white bean stew cooked slowly with smoked paprika, chorizo, morcilla, panceta and saffron. You can also add a ham bone to the broth to give extra flavour if you wish- remove this before serving. Use dried faba beans or dried judión beans, soaked overnight- draining and rinsing them before you begin this recipe. The meat ingredients are cooked whole, then sliced at the end of cooking and served on-top of the bean stew.
