Cook Your Dried Beans With Citrus Peel

Cooking dried beans isn’t quite as convenient as cracking open a can, but it does give you the chance to flavor them exactly how you like ‘em. One of my favorite additions is a strip of citrus zest. It may look puny swimming in a huge pot of beans, but don’t be fooled—even the tiniest piece flavors beans and their broth through-and-through with citrusy goodness.
