Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron or ovenproof skillet.

Add the onions and sauté until golden brown, about 15–20 minutes.

Add garlic, salt, and pepper. Continue to sauté for another 10 minutes. (Add a splash of water if needed.)

Stir in the butter beans, mixing well.

Pour in the bean water, paprika, and bay leaves. Stir thoroughly and bring everything to a boil.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
