To help kill the heat I added 2 tablespoons of dark brown sugar. It helped with the heat, and it did amazing things to the flavor. So next time, I'll half the cayenne, but I'll still keep the sugar. Thank you for all your efforts.Jim McCorisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13287805452129196797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-65825998384712927342016-09-25T13:53:53.970-04:002016-09-25T13:53:53.970-04:00Dear Chef John, thank you for this wonderful recip...Dear Chef John, thank you for this wonderful recipe. I was also wondering why in your other bean videos you season from the start, like in a stew. But in this recipe you cook the beans first, then you make the seasonings separately, and finally add them to the beans. What's the difference in methods?EthanZarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14364373622613361155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-21581963896145563132014-05-26T14:27:57.040-04:002014-05-26T14:27:57.040-04:00Thank you Chef John:

Be sure to follow Chef John's suggestion of not salting the beans while they cook. At the end, taste the beans for tenderness and seasoning.
