  * I find that adding aromatics and a pinch of kosher salt greatly enhance the flavor of the beans.
  * I like to chop up halve an onion, and a few garlic cloves and add those to the pot. I'll toss in a bay leave too.
  * Sometimes I'll add various dried spices as well, depending on the bean I'm cooking.
