In reference to chick nuts?
Chick pea (like corn) nuts?
Last night, I ordered a Polish variant of Lecsó, with kidney beans and mushrooms added to the peppers, onions and tomatoes.

Not sure? You mean roasted chickpeas? I’ve done that
Yes. Made some one time that nearly broke a tooth.

This looks good! I might add the swiss chard a little later so it doesn’t totally disintegrate but otherwise looks easy and delicious

When I was college-aged, I worked briefly for the Forest Service. Afraid of the sack-lunches, I signed up for the vegetarian option, assuming it would be the safest. Brown-bread, refried bean, and alfalfa sprout sandwiches. All cold out of the sack, along with an apple and cookie. They didn’t kill me, but I don’t crave them.
This one - all toasted and melty - looks good.

The next few days are forecast to reach freezing, barely, but mainly stay below that point. Such weather demands hearty food, and cassoulet tics all my boxes. Today I shall confit chicken legs in duck fat, start defrosting a tub of rich, dark chicken broth, and start soaking a bag of fancy-schmancy Tarbais beans. Our daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter will join us for dinner. They all love beans.

I Googled some recipes for baked bean toasties and baked bean grilled cheese. It looks like the baked bean toastie is fairly popular in the UK , being a decadent step from baked beans on toast. Jaffle is the Australian term for toastie, and baked bean jaffles are online. I won’t bother posting the recipes since they are typically:
Butter
Bread
Cheese (sometimes more than 1 type)
Baked beans
Optional bacon
Optional Worcestershire
Optional tomato
Optional spinach
Some are griddled, some are panini-pressed or snack mastered, some are air-fryed.
A few North American bean canneries have recipes for baked bean grilled cheese.
Baked beans sandwiches (not toasties) ,served with cold baked beans as the filling, are thing in New England, as well. https://newengland.com/food/baked-bean-sandwich/

Dead simple dal makhani. Made yesterday during an exceptionally boring conference call and eaten over a baked potato last night. These are the leftovers. Taking half to my mom tomorrow. Pardon the exceptionally ugly picture; promise it was delicious.

I have made a nearly identical cassoulet but used confit chicken legs in duck fat, a very nice approximation.

Interesting! I don’t understand “pickled zatar”, but even plain zatar would be great!
I happen to have just picked some chard and pickled the stems. Hoping other unlabeled white beans in my freezer will work.

I didn’t either.
It’s from a Turkish market in Gazientep, Turkey, mentioned by a British food writer on IG
I did find Zaatar flavoured pickles, maybe that’s what the label on his pickles meant.
Or he means pickled savoury/ Zaatar like this: https://youtu.be/_pzbh6mK1UE
Pickled thyme is the pickled Zaatar in Lebanon. Apparently it’s sold at Kalustyan’s. https://forums.egullet.org/topic/44336-pickled-thyme/

Thank you!
This, from P. Wolfert about “thyme” sounds familiar
“Actually, it isn’t organo at all, it is thymba spicata, a pungent assertive herb that is often confused with herbs in the same thyme, oregano, marjoram, savory family.”
