Andorran escudella
A hearty slow-simmered stew of pork, chicken, beans, chickpeas, vegetables and pasta. The quantities make approximately 6 servings; preparation time and yield are estimates.
This version of escudella brings meat, legumes and vegetables together in one pot, then finishes with rice and noodles. Allow about 25 minutes to prepare the ingredients and around 2 hours 30 minutes for cooking; these are estimates and may vary with the size of the pieces and the heat.
