Ingredients 4 cups dried white beans, rinsed according to the directions on the package Water 3 tbsp canola oil 1 large onion, quartered 2 whole chilli peppers 1 tbsp salt 1 large onion, sliced into 1/8-inch thick rounds chopped parsley For the roux 1/2 cup canola oil 2 tablespoons paprika 1 Place the beans in a pot and cover with water about 2 inches above the beans, add the oil, quartered onions and chilli peppers. 2 Cook the beans over medium-high heat until soft, about 1.5 to 2 hours, stir often and add warm water as it evaporates. You are looking for a stew-like consistency. Once the beans are cooked, prepare the roux. Do not remove beans from heat. 3 Gently heat the oil in a pan over medium heat and stir in the paprika. Keep stirring until thoroughly combined and fragrant. 4 Pour the roux into the pot with the beans and stir, add a tablespoon of salt and continue to boil for 2 to 3 minutes then remove from heat. 5 Preheat oven to 200°C. Carefully pour beans into a large casserole dish - don’t pour in all the water, just add enough to barely cover the beans. 6 Place the sliced rounds of onions and the cooked peppers on top as garnish, and season to taste with salt and pepper. 7 Bake for 30 minutes, or until a crusty layer forms on top of the beans. 8 Remove and cool 15 minutes before serving, garnish with chopped parsley. Recipe Notes: You can enjoy Tavce Gravce as a side dish to any meal, or as a meal on its own with a side-salad sprinkled with sheep cheese or feta cheese, and a loaf of crusty bread.
