Asturian cuisine refers to the typical dishes and ingredients found in the cuisine of the Asturias region of Spain . Asturias is especially known for its seafood, such as fresh Squid , Crab , Shrimp and Sea Bass . Salmon are caught in Asturian rivers, notably the Sella; the first fish of the season is called ''campanu'' (from ''campana'', a bell tolled to signal the first catch). The most famous regional dish is Fabada Asturiana , a rich Stew made with large white Bean s (''fabes''), Pork shoulder (''lacón''), Morcilla , Chorizo , and Saffron (''azafrán''). Apple groves foster the production of the traditional alcoholic drink, a natural Cider (''sidra''). This is traditionally poured in small servings by an expert server: the bottle is raised high above his or her head to oxygenate the brew as it moves into the glass below. Asturian cheeses, especially Cabrales , are also famous throughout Spain and beyond; Cabrales is known for its pungent odour and strong flavour. Asturias is often called "the land of cheeses" (''el pais de los quesos'') due to the product's diversity and quality in this region. Other major dishes include Fava Beans with Clam s, Asturian stew, '' Frixuelos '', and Rice Pudding . |
