Ingredients:

Serving

1 leek (green part only )
2 turkish bay leaves or 1 california
3 large fresh thyme sprigs
3 large fresh savory sprigs
3 large fresh parsley sprigs
3 1/2 quart water ( preferably spring)
1 onion, quartered
1 small (2-inch) dried hot chile such as arbol , cayenne ,or thai
2 lb shelled fresh cranberry beans (3 1/2 lb in shells ); or 1 lb dried beans (such as borlotti , cannellini
1 tbsp kosher salt plus additional to taste
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme or savory

Directions:

Wash leek greens well in a bowl of cold water, then lift out and drain well. Tuck bay leaves and herb sprigs into leek greens and tie tightly in a bundle with string to make a bouquet garni.
Bring water, bouquet garni, onion, and chile to a boil in a 5-quart heavy pot and simmer, partially covered, 20 minutes. Add beans and simmer gently, stirring occasionally and adding 1 tablespoon kosher salt toward end of cooking, until tender, about 25 minutes for fresh beans or 50 minutes to 1 1/4 hours for soaked dried. Discard bouquet garni, and discard onion and chile if desired.
Just before serving, transfer beans with a slotted spoon to a dish and season with kosher salt. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with mint and thyme.
