Xuacon Fabas con Compango – Traditional Asturian Bean Stew 1kg

Fabas con compango is Asturian mountain food at its most elemental: large, creamy beans slow-cooked with cured meats and regional aromatics until the broth becomes silken and deeply savory. Xuacon brings the authentic version—the kind served in modest restaurants across the Picos de Europa—to your table in a single, ready-to-heat tin. At one kilogram, this is a proper meal for four, or a generous serving with leftovers.

The beans themselves are the star: mealy Asturian fabes, cooked until tender but never mushy, suspended in a rich stock that absorbs the smoke and salt of chorizo, morcilla, and panceta. This is not a delicate soup; it is substantial, warming, and designed for cool weather and honest appetites. The compango—the assorted cured additions—are restrained enough that the beans remain the focus, but present enough to anchor the flavor.

How to enjoy

• Heat gently in a pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5–10 minutes until warmed through.
• Serve in deep bowls with crusty bread and a glass of Asturian sidra or red wine.
• Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for three days; reheat slowly to restore the broth's silken texture.
• Add a splash of sherry vinegar or a squeeze of lemon if you prefer brightness against the richness.

⭐ Why we love this

Fabas con compango is the soul of Asturian peasant cuisine—a dish born from mountain necessity that has become a culinary monument. Xuacon respects the tradition: no shortcuts, no modern lightening, just slow-cooked fabes and cured meats that taste like they've been simmering in a village kitchen for generations.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve with a chilled glass of Asturian sidra (natural cider), which cuts through the richness of the morcilla and panceta with bright acidity, or pair with a full-bodied Asturian red wine. This is the classic mountain match—comfort food demands honest, unpretentious wine.

📍 From Spain

Xuacon brings authentic fabas from Asturias, the rugged northern region where this stew has sustained shepherds and miners for centuries. The Picos de Europa mountains define both the climate and the cooking—slow, warm, unapologetic—and that spirit lives in every spoonful of this tin.
