Are you looking for a flavorful and traditional Spanish recipe to impress your guests? Look no further! Habas con Pimentón de la Vera is a delicious dish made with fresh fava beans and smoky Spanish paprika. This recipe, made with the help of Thermomix, will ensure that you achieve the perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients:

500g fresh fava beans

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Spanish paprika (Pimentón de la Vera)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup vegetable broth

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Preparation:

1. Blanch the fava beans:

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the fava beans and cook for 2 minutes. Drain the beans and transfer them to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, remove the outer skin of the beans and set aside.

2. Sauté the onion and garlic:

In the Thermomix, select the «Saute» mode and set the temperature to 120°C. Add the olive oil, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and slightly golden.

3. Add the paprika and seasonings:

Lower the temperature to 100°C. Add the Spanish paprika, salt, and black pepper to the Thermomix. Mix for 1 minute until the spices are well combined.

4. Cook the fava beans:

Add the blanched fava beans to the Thermomix. Pour in the vegetable broth and cook for 15 minutes at 90°C on the «Reverse» mode. This will gently cook the fava beans while preserving their delicate texture.

5. Serve and garnish:

Once the fava beans are tender, transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for an added burst of freshness and color.

This Habas con Pimentón de la Vera recipe is perfect as a tapa or side dish. The combination of the tender fava beans with the smoky and slightly spicy paprika creates a delightful flavor profile that will transport your taste buds to Spain. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Enjoy!
