To shorten preparation time, cook large separate batches of brown and white
rice.  Package them for freezing in 2-cup packages; 1 cup brown and 1 cup
white.  When you're ready to prepare a recipe just defrost and it's ready
to use.

Thaw rice and heat in microwave or oven until ready to use.  Saute onions
and garlic in pan sprayed with nonfat cooking spray.  Add tomatoes,
zucchini and seasonings.  Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender.
Add the beans and heat thoroughly.  Season to taste and spoon onto the hot
rice.
