20-Minute Vegan Spanish Fabada

Fabada asturiana is a Spanish bean stew, originally from Asturias, a region located in the north of Spain. This is my version and is quite different than the traditional one, which is not vegan at all!

The recipes I usually share in the blog are simple because I want to show you that cooking vegan and healthy is so easy and you don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen to make delicious meals, there are so many recipes you can make in less than 30 minutes.

I love this simple vegan fabada recipe because you just need 20 minutes to make a comforting, nutritious, healthy stew, perfect for fall!

Tips:

• Traditional fabada is made with dried large white beans (fabes de la granja) soaked overnight, but I used canned fabes. If you can’t find them, use cannellini beans instead.
• Add your favorite veggies: potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, whatever! Feel free to add some herbs or spices.
• I used ground turmeric instead of saffron because is more affordable and easy to find, but you can use it if you want.
• Oil-free recipe: remove the oil and cook the veggies in some water, vegetable broth, tamari, soy sauce or any other liquid you have on hand.
