Red Beans W/pecans And Saffron Over Spaghe

Someone may ask, “But why should I rise early?” To remain too long in bed is a waste of time. Wasting time is unbecoming of a saint who is bought by the precious blood of Jesus. His time and all he has is to be used for the Lord. If we sleep more than is necessary for the refreshment of the body, it is wasting time the Lord has entrusted us to be used for His glory, for our own benefit, and for the benefit of the saints and unbelievers around us… Anyone who spends one, two, three hours in prayer and meditation before breakfast will soon discover the beneficial effect early rising has on the outward and inward man.

INGREDIENTS

1		small red beans
		Pecan halves
		Dry red wine
		Saffron
		Oregano
		Thyme
		Black pepper
		Olive oil
		Garlic

INSTRUCTIONS

Drain a small can of red beans. (Pintos may substitute.) Save the
juice in a small bowl and add a small amount of crumbled saffron to  it
so it marinates. Not too much, you want the taste to be subtle,  not
dominant.  Saute garlic in olive oil for a little bit, along with pecan
halves  and some crushed red chiles.  Add the drained beans and cook so
the flavors mingle. Add quite a bit  of oregano and less thyme and a
pinch of black pepper. Add some dry  red wine, don't be too shy.  Add
in the saffron-flavored bean liquid and cook a few more minutes.  The
consistency should be thin but not like soup.  Serve over whole wheat
spaghetti. Brown rice might also work.
