Fabada for beginners

Today I have decided to remember myself university time: arrival in a new city, independence, roommates  and… the dramas that were brought with the shopping list, the phobia of frying pans and the pseudo-dependence on «mom's tuppers«. I have laughed a lot remembering «nightmares in the kitchen»That they have nothing to envy those of Whip. Therefore, this recipe for bean stew for beginners It is dedicated to all the pseudo-independent university students who will not come of age until they face the pot for the first time.

Come on, brave! Step forward and repeat with me: THE COAST IS GOING TO END. It is time to join the slow cooking and start making your own tuppers (and the joy of opening the freezer and discovering your creations there, waiting for you? That is not paid for!

Preparation time:  12 hours

Cooking time:  2 hours

Total time:  14 hours

Ingredients

• 350g of beans from the farm
• 1 sausage
• 1 blood sausage
• Bacon (a day is a day)
• Lean pork
• 1 cebolla
• 1 garlic clove
• Saffron (yes, what you put in paella)
• Water and salt

Preparation

Remember that it is your first time, so nothing to use fabes -canned white beans!

1. We put the beans in a pot with (cold) water until they are completely covered and we let them soak for at least 12 hours (that's why grandmothers and mothers talk about leaving them to soak overnight).
2. After that minimum time, we strain them, eliminating the water and put them in a pot with water until they are covered and leave two fingers of water in the margin.
3. We bring the pot to a boil and lower the heat to a minimum. You will notice that a layer of foam is created in the water, REMOVE it with a spoon.
4. Add the peeled onion (whole) and garlic (peeled and can be previously crushed with the knife).
5. Meanwhile (with the tip of the knife or with a toothpick) we prick the chorizo ​​and the blood sausage (they sell very cute packs that are very well priced) and we toss them into the water along with the bacon (to be able to be chopped) and the lean of pork.
6. And now the most hopeful thing for you, beginner: cover the pot. You have achieved it, the most important thing is already done. Breathe You have two hours of "relaxation" ahead of you.
7. From figs to figs you stir the pot so that they do not stick. (Stirring is literal, you take the pot by the handles and make small circular movements because if you use a wooden spoon or fork, you will have mashed beans).
8. You are lucky this bean stew for beginners is a very easy recipe and you only need to add half a glass of water each time the pot boils uncontrollably (remember that it has to be at the minimum). I usually repeat this action 2 to 3 times.
9. After one hour of cooking, add the saffron (what your mother uses for paella) and add a pinch of salt (it is better to season at the end since the juices from the bacon, chorizo ​​and blood sausage already add flavor).
10. REMEMBER to stir occasionally (yes, circular motions).
11. After two hours you turn off the heat and take your time setting the table, since it is recommended that they be left to rest for 20-30 minutes before serving.
12. This is a very complete and nutritious dish but with a great caloric intake, so no matter how easy the recipe may have seemed to you, investigate others and DO NOT ABUSE THE FABADA
