Cooking Haricot Beans
Although they are small, haricots are quite hard and need a soak for a few hours first (either soak them or boil them for a longer time).
Add the beans straight to boiling water and leave them for about 20 minutes. Next, turn down the heat, place the pan lid on and leave the haricots simmering for an 45 minutes - 1 hour.
