1 1/2 c  Brown rice
3 tb Olive oil
2    Onions, diced
4    Carrots, shredded
1 tb Sesame seeds
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 lg Bunch fresh parsley, chopped
1 ts Dried thyme
2 ts Dried sage
1 tb Soy sauce (optl.)

Wash the rice well under cold water, then place in a saucepan with water to
cover by 1/4″. 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 saute 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.
