MIX-AND-MATCH BROTHY BEANS
These comforting beans are endlessly adaptable, thanks to easy swap-outs that rely on ingredients you already have in your pantry. Start with one of the classic flavor combinations below, then let your let your imagination go and experiment with your own variations. However you make them, the beans get better after a day or so of soaking in their cooking juices, so you'll be glad you made a big batch. Eat them with bread or tortillas-- or serve over rice, topped with a piece of cooked chicken or fish for a heartier meal.

Steps:
- For the brothy beans: Put the beans in a large bowl with cold water to cover by 2 inches. Soak in the refrigerator at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours.
- Drain and rinse the beans. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the smoked meat if using and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisped, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and other chopped vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just softened, about 3 minutes.
- For the aromatics: Add the aromatics of your choice (use up to 3) and cook, stirring, until sizzling, about 1 minute.
- Add the beans and bay leaves along with cold water to cover by about 2 inches (8 to 9 cups). Submerge the woody herb sprigs in the water if using. Bring to a simmer, partially cover the pot with the lid and cook until the beans are very tender, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, depending on the type of bean.
- To serve, remove and discard the bay leaves and herb sprigs. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons according to your taste. Stir in the fresh herbs.
- Italian: Follow the recipe using cannellini beans, pancetta, celery, carrots, garlic, rosemary and parsley.
- Latin: Follow the recipe using black beans, ham, bell pepper, tomato, sofrito, jalapeno and cilantro.
- Cajun: Follow the recipe using black eyed peas, andouille, celery, bell pepper, tomato paste, thyme and chives.
- Tex-Mex: Follow the recipe using pinto beans, celery, carrot, garlic, adobo sauce and cilantro.
SLOW-COOKER BROTHY BEANS
Beans shouldn't just be relegated to a side dish. Let them be the star of a hearty but light meal full of flavor by slowly cooking dry beans with tons of aromatics. You may have extra bean liquid left over, as you need a generous amount to cook the beans properly. Simply use it in place of vegetable stock in another recipe or add to your next pot of beans.

Steps:
- Combine the beans, fennel, tomato, 6 cloves garlic and the lemon zest in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Tie the thyme, parsley stems and 1/2 leek together with kitchen twine; add to the pot. Add 4 1/2 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and cook on low until the beans are tender, 7 to 9 hours.
- Preheat the broiler. Discard the leek bundle from the beans and stir well. Gently smash the garlic against the side of the slow cooker; season with salt and pepper. Let stand uncovered.
- Thinly slice the remaining 1/2 leek into matchsticks. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the leek and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and crisp, 6 to 9 minutes. Transfer the crispy leek to paper towels with a slotted spoon; season with salt. Reserve the leek oil.
- Arrange the bread on a baking sheet and brush both sides with the leek oil. Pour any excess leek oil into the beans. Broil the bread, turning once, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Rub with the remaining garlic clove and season with salt.
- Stir the lemon juice into the beans. Divide among bowls with a slotted spoon; pour some bean broth into each bowl. Drizzle evenly with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Top with the crispy leek, chives and chopped parsley. Serve with the bread.

BROTHY BEANS
When your beans are tender, take them off the heat and focus on the cooking liquid, doctoring it with good olive oil, salt, and pepper, tasting and seasoning it until the liquid itself is straight-up delicious.

Steps:
- Place beans, onion, carrots, and celery in a large pot and add cold water to cover by several inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer very gently until beans are cooked almost all the way through, about 1 1/2 hours. Season with salt and continue to cook, adding more water if needed to keep beans submerged, until tender (outside skin should still be intact), 45-60 minutes. Discard onion, carrots, and celery.
- Transfer beans and broth to a serving dish or a large bowl; season very generously with salt (start with 2 Tbsp.) and pepper and drizzle with oil.
- Beans can be cooked and seasoned 2 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat gently before serving.
