I prefer the navy pea beans to the great Northerns. Soak then sauté onions and celery (which I like-some don't) in butter then add beans and half chicken stock half water until just covered by about a knuckle. Bring to boil and reduce to simmer. If you want any meat put with onion and celery to brown. Cook until done, mash a few on the side of the pot to make them creamy. I also add butter at the end as I do red beans for richness.

Now I really like some rosemary chopped really fine and mixed in towards the end and something else I like that is different is a good pinch of cinnamon. Just gives it another profile.

Take a bowl of them and squeeze just a bit of lemon juice and try that. Not for everyone but I like it which is why I do it by the bowl.

Another style:


2 lbs Great Northern beans, soaked
1 t each, thyme, oregano and basil
Salt, black and red pepper to taste
2 onions, fine diced
2 ribs celery, fine diced
1/2 bell pepper, fine diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1 or 2 minced jalapeño peppers
4 T minced flat leaf parsley
1 bunch green onions, fine diced
2 or 3 smoked pork hocks
10 + cups of water or stock (add more if needed)


Sauté the trinity in a bit of oil, adding the herbs and garlic once the onions are clear. Add the stock and all other ingredients, bringing to a boil.

Cut the fire to low and simmer covered , stirring often, until the beans are about to break. Mash some to the pot for creaminess. You can brown a lb of sausage at the start to add in the last 30 minutes of cooking if you wish.

Lol...good God. That's a shite ton of ingredients. Whose recipe is that?

Salt, black pepper, onions and a smoked hock and/or pickled pork are all I'm putting in my white beans. But hey, to each is own I guess.
