Covenants are not merely contracts or promises. Rather, covenants are relationships under authority, with both obligations and rewards. The terms and benefits of the relationship are spelled out, and so are the consequences if the relationship is broken. But what is perhaps most significant about biblical covenants is that when God enters into a covenant, He must condescend to initiate it, He sets the terms, He provides the benefits, and He executes the judgment when the covenant is broken.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot;
cook for 2 min. Stir in the wild rice and the water, and heat to boiling.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 30 min.
2. Add the white rice, beef stock, wine, bay leaf, and hot pepper sauce to
the wild rice. Heat to boiling, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer,
covered, until both rices are tender and almost all the liquid has been
absorbed, about 25 min. Discard the bay leaf. Stir the peas into the rice
mixture; cook, covered, for 5 min more. Remove the cover and raise the heat
slightly if the mixture is too wet. Add the parsley and pecan, and sprinkle
with mint, if desired.
Note: To toast the pecan, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the
pecans and toast until golden, stirring frequently, for 6-8 min.
