ROASTED ORGANIC BROWN RICE SALAD

2 cups organic brown rice
1 quart filtered water
Various vegetables cut up small, for example:

1 clove garlic
1 small carrot



In a frying pan roast the 2 cups of organic brown rice until golden brown. Add to large pot and add 1 quart of water. Bring to boil and simmer for 25 minutes. While rice is cooking, cut up vegetables small and cook them in this manner: In the hot frying pan add a bit of olive oil, cook garlic for a minute and then add tofu, allow to brown a bit, followed by the remaining vegetables. Cook until carrots are al dente. Set aside.

After rice is cooked, (it will be fluffy and chewy) add the vegetables and then a dressing of oil and vinegar or Vegenaise.
