3. Thinly slice the onion and soften it slowly in the oil until golden.
4. Stir in the paprika, mint, salt, and pepper, then mix this with the beans in a shallow clay baking dish.
5. Add enough reserved liquid or water to just cover the beans.
6. Bake uncovered at 180°C for about 1 hour 30 minutes, until the sauce thickens and a crust forms on top.
7. Rest briefly, then serve hot from the dish.
