    This is a simple recipe for garbanzo beans. The seasonings have greek overtones. The tomatos and V8 juice add some acid to the beans that adds some zip to the taste. It makes for a economical, healthy, nutritious and high fiber meal. Though heavy in carbs they are the slow burning type that keep you full after eating. Garbanzo beans take longer to cook than most other legumes and they don't loose there shape or get creamy when fully cooked. The addition of cabbage resulted from having some on hand from another recipe. If you feel beans and cabbage are too much for your digestive system substitue baby spinach instead towards the end of cooking.
