I don't know what happened but my mail was sent before I was finished-weird.
I sent the previous recipe with spinach and was typing one with black beans.
so let's try again. Adapted from Vegetarian Times Vegetarian Entertaining.

4 carrots, diced

In a large saucepan, saute vegetables over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
Add beans and their liquid and 2 cups of water plus the thyme, cumin, and salt

minutes. Serve over yellow rice.
