Certain ingredients, and combinations of ingredients, crop up again and again in Asturian cooking. Seafood and beans, pork and beans, pork and cheese... ==Beans & Pulses== Beans are the heart of Asturian cooking. So much so that almost any day of the year in Asturias you will find beans bubbling away in most houses.

Apples have been grown in the area since at least the Romans. Many other fruit and nut crops are now part of the Asturian culinary landscape. {{#ask: [[Category:Fruits & Nuts]] |format=ul |class=ask3col |default=No ingredients posted yet in this category. |intro=The following ingredients are available: }} ==Meats== Asturias is undeniably cattle country. As a matter of fact, it is the only region in Spain where cattle are the most common agricultural livestock. That means there are a lot more beefy dishes in Asturias than most anywhere else in Spain. Of course, that is not to say that pigs, chickens, sheep, goats, horses, and other livestock don't factor into the cuisine. {{#ask: [[Category:Meats]] |format=ul |class=ask3col |default=No ingredients posted yet in this category. |intro=The following ingredients are available: }} ==Vegetables== From the humble potato to the ubiquitous tomato, the vegetables common to the Asturian [[Huerto or Huerta|huerto]] live here. {{#ask: [[Category:Vegetables]] |format=ul |class=ask3col |default=No ingredients posted yet in this category. |intro=The following ingredients are available: }} ==Other Ingredients== From mushrooms to honey, and other things that straddle the border between an ingredient and a product. {{#ask: [[Category:Other Ingredients]] |format=ul |class=ask3col |default=No ingredients posted yet in this category. |intro=The following ingredients are available: }} == Citations == <references group="Citations" /> [[Category:Ingredients]]
