Ingredients

Method

1
Rinse the white beans under cold water and drain them thoroughly.
2
Peel and roughly chop the onions into 2-3 cm pieces. Peel the carrot and cut it into chunks.
3
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent and begin to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes.
10 minutes
4
Add the beans and carrot chunks to the pot, stirring to combine with the onions.
5
Add the bay leaves, salt, and pepper to taste. Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients by about 5 cm.
6
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 60-70 minutes, until the beans are very soft and beginning to break down.
65 minutes
7
Sprinkle the paprika powder over the top and stir well to distribute evenly throughout the dish.
8
Continue simmering for another 10-15 minutes to allow the paprika to fully incorporate and the flavors to meld.
12 minutes
9
Remove the bay leaves. Using a wooden spoon, mash some of the beans against the side of the pot to create a thick, creamy consistency while leaving some beans intact.
10
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or paprika as needed. Serve warm.
