Fabada Asturiana
1/2 lb. dried butter beans
1/8 c. olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/8 lb. bacon, sliced
3 slices chorizo sausage
Salt to taste
1 sm sized onion, chopped
1/4 lb. ham, cubed
1 c. tomato puree

Soak the beans overnight in cold water.
Cook them the next day in enough water to cover to which salt has been added.
More water will have to be added as they cook. Follow the directions on the package in cooking them until they are tender. Drain.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan.
Fry the onion and garlic for a few minutes; then add the ham and bacon; brown. Add tomato, salt, and paprika. Put the beans, tomato mixture, and sausage in an oven-proof casserole.
Mix well; cover and cook at 325 degrees for 22 minutes.
