Pote Asturiano

Post by Wynette: Some variation of this stew is a first course choice on just about every menu del día we’ve had. I’m not sure how appetizing this photo makes it look, but it is delicious. The stew usually has fava beans, two or three types of sausages, greens, a hearty broth, and often potatoes. I’ve asked about the greens and they always say berza which Google translates to cabbage, but, of course, it’s not what we call cabbage. We think they might be collard greens. The Asturians are very proud of their food, as is every region in Spain (and probably the world). They often proudly describe a dish as típico, meaning it’s typical of the region.
