Brown Rice Saute with Parsley & Sage

Directions

Wash the rice well under cold water, then place in a saucepan with water to cover by ¼ inch.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn the heat down low and cover tightly.

Simmer until all water is absorbed, approximately 1 hour.

In a frying pan or wok, heat the oil and sauté the onions until golden brown or even a bit burnt, about 8 minutes.

Add the cooked rice to the onions.

Stir in the carrots, sesame seeds, salt and pepper to taste, and the herbs.

Stir-fry lightly for about 5 minutes. Mix in the soy sauce just before serving, if desired.
