In Spain, the popularity of Cocido de Garbanzos, Garbanzo Stew, rivals that of paella and gazpacho, and is the precursor of a French pot-au-feu. These premium beans are the perfect base for a pot of Cocido, brimming with authentic Spanish flavor.

Your glorious garbanzos will be stewing in a broth containing chorizo, and perhaps morcilla black sausage with onions. Each bag comes with an authentic recipe for the traditional Cocido de Garbanzos.

Attached to many of the sacks will be a Beachwood spoon, which is a gift to you from the Salvadores family, who founded El Maragato. It is crafted by handicapped people in their village.
