Techniques
  • Spanish white beans
Shake jarred beans to loosen them; drain the beans in a sieve and rinse well under cold running water; shake off the excess water and set aside.
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • ½ whole round onion
Skin and slice the garlic, not too thin or thick; remove two or three outer layers of half a large onion and finely dice it.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and heat it two minutes.
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Add the garlic and onion and stir consistently so nothing burns, about three minutes, until the onion is translucent.
Softening the garlic and onion
  • 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp cumin powder
Add the paprika and cumin and mix quickly so the paprika does not turn bitter.
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • sea salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp parsley flakes
Add the diced tomatoes, sea salt, black pepper and parsley flakes; mix and simmer the sauce three minutes.
Add the beans, season with sea salt and mix; lower to low heat and simmer about two minutes, then take off the heat.
