Some families in northern Spain have a tradition of eating dishes such as beans or beans on Christmas or Kings Day. Many times we get very complicated preparing sophisticated meat or fish dishes, so here I present a good, easy and nutritious alternative: beans with clams in green sauce. In addition, we can take the opportunity to buy more clams and prepare Marinated clams for a dinner, for example.

The most important thing is to soak the beans (or white beans or pochas) the night before.

Ingredients

400 gr of beans (soaked from the night before)
700 gr liter of fish broth
700 gr liter of vegetable broth
2 cloves garlic
1 green pepper
1 cebolla
1 strands of saffron
A pinch of salt
200 gr of clams
parsley to decorate
50 gr of extra virgin olive oil
2 large tablespoons of flour
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 teaspoon paprika sweet

Preparation

First of all, we are going to leave the clams submerged in cold water in a container so that they release any possible grit they may have. We leave them there while we prepare the beans.
We place the butterfly, we put the beans with the fish and vegetable broth, the garlic, the green pepper, the onion and the saffron threads and we program 40 minutes, temperature 100º, spoon speed, left turn. We check the point of the beans, and if they are not tender, we program 10 more minutes or whatever they need so that they are to our liking.
We remove the garlic, green pepper and onion from the glass on a plate and reserve. On the other hand, we remove the beans with their broth and reserve in another container.
We remove the butterfly. Without washing the glass, add the 50 gr of olive oil and program 2 minutes, speed 1, varoma temperature. Add the garlic and cook 3 minutes, speed 1, varoma temperature. Now we put the paprika and the flour and program 2 minutes, speed 1, varoma temperature.
We put inside the glass (without removing the mixture of flour and garlic) the vegetables that we had reserved from having cooked the beans (garlic, pepper and onion) and we crush 1 minute, speed 5.
We place the butterfly again and add the beans with the broth that we had reserved. We close the glass and put the varoma container with the clams on top. We program 10 minutes, varoma temperature, spoon speed, left turn. We check that the clams have been opened and if not, we program 2 more minutes.
We serve the beans in a container with the clams on top. Sprinkle with parsley.
