Basil and Green Beans with Brown Rice and Salad

Instructions

1. Saute the green beans in olive oil with salt and pepper.

2. Roast 15-ish beets (either red or golden), lightly coated in olive oil, salt and pepper until cooked through. Let cool, cut into wedges. I usually roast beets at 400 degrees for 45 min - 1 hr. A knife should slide in when done. Also, I never peel them, but I do wash and dry them before rubbing olive oil and s&p on them. 

3. Cut sweet yellow onions (about 5) into wedges. 

4.Mix together with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, cut strips of basil and mix them all together.

5. For the Brown Rice: 2 cups boiling and salted water to 1 cup rice. Sometimes with brown rice, you may need a bit more water than just 2:1.
