I was once invited by a friend for dinner. She told me that she was going to make fabada, a spanish bean stew from Asturias. While the beans take center stage, the stew is taken a step further with the addition of chorizo, morcilla (blood sausage) and pork. She even boasted that her fabada was better than my Mom’s version.
“Wait a minute… are you telling my that YOUR fabada is BETTER than my Mom’s?” I asked her over the phone.
“Yes. Yes… you must come over to try it. I managed to get hold of a secret recipe from an aunt.” She replied.
Hmmm…. this I had to see.
