Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add 2 medium halved and thinly sliced onions and 2 thinly sliced garlic cloves. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion begins to soften, 8-10 minutes.
Add 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed, 1 can diced tomatoes with juice, 1/2 cup V-8 juice and 2 tablespoons tahini. Simmer until thickened but still saucy, 8-10 minutes.; Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper; top with fresh cilantro.
Green beans hide as they get big enough to pick. At least mine do! Have you ever wondered what to do with those green beans that hid until they were GIANT?
I found a good crock pot baked bean recipe that cooked them into deliciousness!
Note: Don’t use green beans that are hard and dry or have a brown line down them, just the big ones.

Ingredients
1tbspyeast
1/2 cup+1/2 tspsugar
2 cups + 1/4 cupmilk
1/2 lbbutter2 sticks
1 tbspsvegetable shortening
8egg yolks,divided
8 cupsbread flour
3 tbspbutter, meltedfor brushing tops of cooked loaves
Filling for NUT ROLL
1/2 cupwarm milk
2 tbspmelted butter
2 lbsground walnutsI use a food processor.
8egg whites, beaten stiff
2tspvanilla
2 1/2cupssugarFor Filling: Heat milk and butter and add to ground walnuts. Add sugar. Fold in beaten egg whites and vanilla. If the filling seems too pasty, add milk.
Instructions
Put yeast and ½ tsp sugar in an 8 oz measuring cup. Mix with fork and add about ¼ cup warm milk. Mix well until yeast dissolves and let rise in warm spot until it reaches the top of the cup.
Heat the 2 cups of milk, butter, and shortening, in a saucepan. Let cool to lukewarm.
Beat 6 egg yolks and sugar together until creamy.
Add the milk and egg mixture to the flour alternately with the yeast. I use a mixer with a dough hook for this step.
Knead dough until it becomes satiny. At this point, add more flour or milk as needed to reach proper consistency. Dough should be smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 2 hours.
Divide the dough into about 8-10 balls, approximately the size of baseballs.
Roll each ball into a large rectangle: about 12 inches by 14 inches.
Spread the filling over the dough and roll upjelly-roll fashion. Fold ends over and pinch closed.
Brush loaves with a mixture of 2 egg yolks mixed with 1 tablespoon water.
Bake at 375º for 18-22 minutes or till done. Remove and brush with butter. Cool on wire racks.
