Method
- Soak the dried beans (a stand-in for Macedonia's large tetovac beans) in plenty of cold water overnight, then drain and rinse.
- Put the beans in a pot, cover with fresh water, bring to a boil and cook for 45-60 minutes until just tender but not falling apart; drain, keeping a cup of the cooking liquid.
- Fry the chopped onion in the oil until soft, then stir in the paprika, cayenne and half the dried mint.
- Mix the beans with the onion mixture and the flour, then transfer to a baking dish and add enough of the reserved cooking liquid to just cover.
- Bake uncovered at 200 °C (400 °F) for 30-40 minutes until the top is browned and the liquid has mostly been absorbed.
- Season with the salt, scatter with the remaining mint, and serve hot straight from the dish.
