Recipe - Red Beans Wpecans And Saffron Over Spaghe

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

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 saffronflavored 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.
