Categories: Diabetic, Nuts, Beans, Vegetarian, Rice

Yield: 4 servings

1 c Onions; chopped

3 cl Garlic

2 Tomatoes; chopped

1 lb Beans; canned

4 c Water

2 c Quick brown rice; quinoa,

-or couscous

Saute onions and garlic in olive oil until tender. Add tomatoes,

beans, water and grain. Season with herbs and spices of your choice.

Cook until the grain is tender. Serve with tossed salad.

1 STARCH/BREAD EXCHANGE

1 VEGETABLE

EXCHANGE (I would cut back on the beans to make it count as 1

starch/bread) (I also would use a combintion of couscous & quinoa and even add any free

vegetables. This would be great to make ahead and take to work in

the summer time.)
