Here's a very simple method from Spain for enjoying this bean. You're likely to have most of the ingredients in your pantry already.

Serves 2-4 as a side dish

• 1/2 pound Rancho Gordo Alubia Blanca or Yellow Eye beans
• Olive Oil (Spanish, perhaps?)
• Bay laurel leaf
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 white onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
• Salt

1. Prepare the Alubia Blanca beans in the Rancho Gordo manner, with just bay leaf and a small splash of olive oil. Salt the beans when they are soft enough to mash.
2. Sauté the red bell pepper, garlic, and onion over medium-low heat and stir in the paprika. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft.
3. Combine the mixture into the beans.
