Macedonian baked beans with paprika and onions.
Ingredients
- 500 g white beans
- 2 onions
- Paprika
- Oil
- Mint or parsley
- Bread
How to make it
- Soak and simmer beans until tender. Start over medium-high heat until the water or broth is bubbling, then lower to medium or medium-low and cook gently for 10-25 minutes, depending on size, until tender but not falling apart.
- Cook onions with paprika in oil. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.
- Combine in a clay dish. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.
- Bake until thick and browned on top. Use medium-high heat to get color, then lower to medium so the inside cooks through without burning. Turn only when the first side has a firm golden crust.
Serving note
Keep the plate simple and let the main texture lead: crisp pastry, tender stew, glossy sauce or fresh garnish. This page is a compact cooking guide, not a long article.
