If the beans have not been pre soaked, wash them carefully, discarding any that are broken or discolored. Place in a large pot and cover with water.

Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to soak for about 1 hour. In a large, heavy pot saute the onions, garlic and mushrooms in the oil. Add the beans, barley, herbs and seasonings. Add the carrots, potatoes, the wine, Tamari and bayleaf. Add boiling water or stock to about 1 inch above the contents. Adjust the seasonings to taste. Before sundown on Friday, cover the pot tightly and allow to simmer slowly in a 225 degree oven or over very low heat on top of the stove. Let it cook all night until time to enjoy it for lunch.

Serves 6 to 8 hearty eaters.
