Asturian Cuisine
Fabada, cachopo, rice pudding, cider. Hearty food from green Asturias.
Authentic Asturian Fabada
Asturian beans with ham, blood sausage, and smoked chorizo. The heartiest and most flavorful dish from Asturias, slowly simmered until the beans are tender but intact and the broth turns creamy.
Asturian Rice Pudding
The secret to Asturian rice pudding lies in its very slow cooking and the use of whole milk freshly drawn from northern cows. Lemon zest and cinnamon are the essential aromas.
Asturian Cuisine: cooking guide
Asturian cuisine is hearty and honest, born of a humid climate and a land that gives its best in legumes, cheeses and veal. The fabada with its compango of chorizo, morcilla and lacón is the undisputed queen. The cachopo — breaded stuffed veal steak — is the star dish at any sidrería. Creamy rice pudding with toasted cinnamon is the childhood dessert of an entire region.
