Pour the olive oil into the frying pan and heat to medium-high. Add the onions and bacon to the frying pan.

Stir and turn the bacon and onions frequently while cooking for about 15 minutes. The onions should be light brown.


 
Add the beans and paprika to the pan and cook for five more minutes. Stir and turn the mixture frequently to stop it sticking to the bottom of the pan. Have a taste and add salt and pepper as required.

Serve warm. This dish can be served with other tapas but is also ideal as a starter.
