Fabes con almejas (Spanish) or Fabes con amasueles, in Asturian for beans with clams, is a clam and bean stew that originated in the principality of Asturias in the 19th century as peasant fare. It is a lighter variation of Asturian fabada whose primary ingredients are sausage, beans and pork. The traditional recipe for fabes con amasueless calls for small clams, fava beans, onions, garlic, salt, saffron, bay leaves, olive oil, parsley, bread crumbs and sometimes sweet paprika.
