Instructions

Read through the entire recipe before getting started. Wash and dry all produce.

• Cut onion in half and peel; then thinly slice. Mince or grate garlic. Remove ends from carrots and slice into 1/2" discs.

• Prepare rice: Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add brown rice. Cook for 1-2 minutes until aromatic. Add 2 cups of water and a generous pinch of salt. Mix to combine and bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 25-30 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
