    The only bean "recipe" you'll ever need. In quotes b/c it's ridiculously simple and endlessly riff-able. With the best/freshest ingredients, even though it's a vegetarian recipe and I'm probably offending someone by saying this, you'll swear the beans snuggled next to a ham bone while simmering away on a hot stove in the deep south in the summertime. This recipe has made bean lovers out of devout haters. No lie.
