👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a deep baking dish or casserole dish.
- 2
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until deeply caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. This slow caramelization is key to the flavor.
- 3
Add the diced green bell pepper and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes until the pepper has softened and the garlic is fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the smoked paprika, sweet paprika, salt, black pepper, and Vegeta (if using). Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- 5
Add the soaked and drained beans, tomato paste, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- 6
Pour in the water or vegetable broth, ensuring the beans are fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beans are tender but not mushy.
- 7
Transfer the bean mixture into the prepared baking dish. Ensure there's enough liquid to almost cover the beans; add a little more broth or water if needed.
- 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is slightly browned and the casserole is bubbling. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
- 9
Let it rest for a few minutes before serving hot. It's traditionally served with crusty bread.
