👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
Rinse the dried judiones thoroughly and place them in a large bowl. Cover with plenty of cold water (at least 3 inches above the beans) and soak overnight, or for at least 8-12 hours. Drain and rinse the soaked beans before cooking.
⏱️ 12 hours (soaking) - 2
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, combine the drained beans, pork belly pieces, and bay leaves. Add enough cold water or broth to cover the ingredients by about 2 inches. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for approximately 2 hours, or until the beans are beginning to soften but still hold their shape.
⏱️ 2 hours - 3
Add the chorizo links and morcilla links to the pot. Ensure they are submerged in the liquid. Continue to simmer gently, covered, for another 1 hour, or until the beans are tender and creamy, and the sausages are cooked through. The pork belly should also be very tender.
⏱️ 1 hour - 4
Remove the chorizo and morcilla from the pot. Let them cool slightly, then slice them into thick rounds. Return the sliced sausages to the pot. Stir in the pimentón de la Vera. Taste the stew and season generously with salt. Simmer for a final 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The beans should have a creamy consistency; if too thin, you can gently mash a few beans against the side of the pot to thicken the broth.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 5
Serve hot in shallow bowls, ensuring each serving has a good portion of beans, chorizo, morcilla, and pork belly. This dish is even better the next day.
💡 Професійні поради
- ✓Judiones de la Granja are traditional giant white beans from the region of La Granja near Segovia, Spain.
- ✓The key to this dish is the creamy texture of the beans and the rich, smoky flavor from the pimentón and sausages.
- ✓Always use cold water to start cooking dried beans; this helps them cook evenly. Never boil rapidly, as it can cause the skins to split and the beans to become tough.
