Prebranac is a Serbian dish consisting of beans baked with onions and Hungarian powdered paprika, along with oil and water. The final result shouldn't be soupy, but slightly dry, with onion-coated beans developing a creamy texture. Originally, prebranac was made by farmers during the cold winter days.
Today, the dish is traditionally served as an accompaniment to main dishes, although it can also be consumed on its own, preferably paired with a slice of crusty bread on the side.
