Enjoy this typical Spanish dish on its own or with a tasty vinagreta (Spanish vinaigrette) accompanied by a rich red Marques de Cáceres.

If you get the chance use La Granja's famous judiones, for a real melt in your mouth experience! See more of my Spanish Recipes here.

• 1 lb of judiones (substitute broad beans)
  
• 1 medium size onion
  
• 4 cloves of garlic
  
• 1/2 tsp pimentón agridulce (bittersweet Spanish paprika)
  
• 1/2 c olive oil
  
• 4 l of water
  
• 1 red or green pepper
  

[Directions:

1. Soak the judiones overnight (~ 12hrs).

2. Chop the pepper into long strips.

3. Cut the onion in half & slice into thin semi-circles.

4. Pound the garlic in the mortar.

5. Put the cazuela (shallow clay dish) on the stove at medium heat & add the olive oil, garlic, onion & pimentón. Let it cook slowly for ~ 5 minutes; remove from heat.

6. On a second burner put the rinsed judiones in a pot with all of the water. Bring to a boil then lower to medium heat & let cook for approximately ½ hr.

7. Add the judiones to the cazuela. Put the cazuela on medium heat & simmer for an hour. Start tasting early; the judiones should taste tender but with a bite; add salt as required.
