Brown Rice topped with Caramelized Onions, Garlic and Tomatoes

Ingredients:

1 cup of uncooked brown rice, prepared according to package directions
1 Tbs. olive oil
1 red onion, halved and sliced (both halves)
5 garlic cloves, sliced
1 tomato, diced
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

When the rice is nearing its end cooking time, heat the oil in a large skillet on medium heat.  Add the onion when oil is hot, and cook for at least fifteen minutes, until the onion starts to turn color (past the translucent stage).  Add the garlic and cook for two more minutes.  Add the tomato and seasoning, and turn off the heat.  Serve over the brown rice.  A taste bud treat!  Feeds five hungry vegans.
