👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 1
Drain the soaked beans and place them in a large pot. Cover with fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beans are tender but not mushy. Drain the beans, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking liquid.

While the beans are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 20-30 minutes, until they are deeply caramelized and sweet. Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and sweet paprika, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the cooked beans, halved prunes, bay leaves, salt, and pepper to the pot with the onions. Stir gently to combine. Pour in the reserved bean cooking liquid and enough vegetable stock or water to just cover the beans.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Cover the pot tightly and bake for 1 hour.

Remove the lid and continue to bake for another 30-45 minutes, or until the top is slightly browned and the liquid has mostly evaporated. Add more stock or water if it becomes too dry.

Let the baked beans rest for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Remove the bay leaves.
