Judías! That's what we called it growing up in casa Rodriguez aka mountain food or comida de cuchara (spoon food).
This is a very rustic dish full of flavour and so simple to prepare and one of my favourite childhood dinners. This recipe originates from Maria, my dad's mum. Maria taught my dad to cook this dish before he left the village and he’s been making it ever since.
