Jen’s Baked Beans

Ingredients:     

• 1/2 Cup Amphora Spanish Olives or Kalamata Olives
• 1¾ cups cooked Great Northern or Cannellini Beans
• 3 plump garlic cloves, smashed
• 1½ teaspoons smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
• ½ cup Amphora EVOO or try Garlic or Gremolata
• ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

 Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. In a small skillet or other shallow, oven-safe dish, stir together the beans, olives, garlic, paprika, and salt. Pour the oil over the mixture and gently stir to combine. Transfer to the oven and bake for 30 minutes. I don’t stir, as I like the chewy crust that forms on the beans at the surface, but you can stir once or twice as it bakes if you prefer a more uniform consistency.
3. Serve Hot and sprinkle with fresh or dried oregano
