These 'Fabes de La Granja' are the key ingredient in the hearty fabada stew of Asturias, in northern Spain. This rich meal, flavored with cured meats and \u003ca href=\"\/food\/smoked-paprika\"\u003esmoky paprika\u003c\/a\u003e, is famous across Spain. The fabada beans must be hearty and absorbent, with a buttery flavor and smooth texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe beans come stamped with the 'Denominacion Especifica Faba Asturiana', certifying that the beans were hand harvested in Asturias and only the best unblemished whole beans are selected. This quality is important, as fabada beans are able to absorb the rich, meaty tastes that \u003ca href=\"\/food\/cooking-sausages\"\u003echorizo and morcilla sausages\u003c\/a\u003e add to the broth, just like top quality short grained rice is important for in paella.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe secret to their quality is in how they are grown.
