La Granja White Beans with Chorizo (Judiones de La Granja)

Judiones de La Granja with chorizo is one of the most emblematic dishes of Castilian gastronomy, especially from the province of Segovia.

The origin of these huge and buttery large white beans dates back to the 18th century, when they were cultivated in the gardens of the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso.

This traditional recipe is a perfect example of the Spanish spoon cookbook, where legumes, sausages, and slow cooking time create a comforting harmony of flavors.

They are often prepared on holidays or family gatherings and are synonymous with hospitality and deep rural roots.
