1 1/4 lb Dried garbanzo beans

1 Onion, chopped
3 medium Potatoes, quartered
2 Chorizos

Caldo Gallego (Spanish Bean Soup)
Wash beans thoroughly and soak them overnight with 1 tablespoon salt and enough water to cover. Next morning, drain salted water from the beans, add the water and the ham to the beans and simmer for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, saute salt pork and add onions, stirring. Add onion and pork mixture and potatoes to the beans. Cook until potatoes are tender. Remove from heat. Add chorizos. Serve steaming hot.
EDITOR'S NOTE If you wish bacon may be substituted, but be sure to drain off the grease. It's a snap to make and one of my favorites. Be sure to allow time for the beans to soak overnight. |
