Method:
Pour boiling water over the dried haricot beans sufficient to cover them. Leave for one hour, strain beans. Put beans back into bowl, cover with more boiling water and leave till next morning.
Drain and rinse beans. Add fresh water and cook until tender for about one and a half hours.
Heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Drain the beans but reserve 2 cups of the liquid. Heat the oil in a deep pan and cook the onion until soft. Add drained beans, the reserved liquid plus all remaining ingredients. Mix well and bring back to the boil. Place in a casserole dish and cook, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove lid from casserole dish and cook for a further 20 minutes.

1/2 cup grated carrot
1/2 cup finely shredded cabbage

**My kids love these,and it's one way to get my egg-phobic son #1 to eat eggs! I don't use the mushies or cabbage, but add other veggies like zucchini.
