Using “deconstruction” in an Asturian restaurant

A real experience of “deconstruction” in an Asturian restaurant

DECONSTRUCTION: an example

Traditional “fabada asturiana” (beans stew)

My family restaurant

“fabada” reconstructed

THE PROCESS OF THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE DISH

THE PROCESS

1.- We place eight beans in a linear way.2.- We season them with a black pudding mousse.3.- Over the beans with mousse, we also pour some crunchy powder, this powder is made out of the typical spanish pork sausage called “chorizo”

THE PROCESS

4.- We fry some streaky bacon, cut into small dace and we put it next to the beans.5.-In the bottom of the plate, instead of soup,which is the traditional way, we add some tomato jelly. 6.- And over this tomato jelly, we place another, created out of some lettuce

THE PROCESS

7.- Finally, we put thin slices of chives.

Traditional and modern “fabada”
