       1    Onion

   SHELL THE BEANS, rinse them off and put them in a saucepan with water
   to cover. Bring to a boil for 15 minutes, then drain and return the
   beans to the pan. Add the oil, onions, tomatoes, paprika, cumin,
   garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, some freshly ground pepper and a cup of
   water. Cover and cook over a low flame until the beans are tender,
   about an hour. Taste for salt and add more if necessary. If the

   beans, and their juices, into a serving dish. Garnish with the
   parsley and cilantro.
