Aromatics, Herbs and Spices
Aromatics and herbs are flavorings that you can add to your beans while they are cooking. Now that you are an advanced bean cooker, you are ready to push the flavor envelope.
After taking pictures of these beans, they looked to good to abandon. With sage leaves retrieved from the garden, a sliced onion plus a few peppercorns, there were delicious beans (ready in less than an hour) for lunch.
Other suggestions for aromatics or herbs that you might like to try:
A carrot, a celery stalk, a few cloves of garlic.
A bay leaf, a few whole cloves (not garlic cloves, but the little brown spiky spice ones), a sprig of fresh thyme or parsley.
Do you recognize the pot? This repeat performer is the pot I rescued back in October. Pretty isn’t it?
