Brown Rice with Seasoned Tomatoes

3/4 C. brown rice
1 1/2 C. water
1 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried parsley
1 tomato, washed and sliced
Salt & pepper
1-2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1.  Bring water and butter to a boil in small pot, add rice, oregano and parsley.  Cover, reduce heat to low and let simmer 45 minutes or until cooked.
2.  While rice is finishing heat a small pan on medium heat.  Season tomato slices with salt, pepper and chopped garlic.  Cook slices for 2-3 minutes on each side.
3.  Serve rice with tomato slices on top.

p.s.  You can also broil the tomato slices rather than cook them on stove, it will add a little bit of a crisp to the edges of the tomato.
