  1       lg           Ripe tomato, seeded and

  1                    Rib celery, minced
  4       tb           Lime juice

 1. Put the onion and garlic into a small roasting pan
 and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.  Cook in a
 preheated 350-degree oven until golden brown, about 30
 minutes.  Stir occasionally.  Remove from the oven and
 cool.  Cut the stem ends from the onions and discard.
 Chop the onions coarsely.  Set the garlic aside for
 the dressing.

 2. Combine 1 cup broth and the rice in a small
 saucepan.  Bring to a boil, stirring well.  Cover and
 reduce the heat to low.  Cook 15 minutes, or until the
 rice has absorbed the broth and is tender.  Transfer
 to a bowl.

 3. Add the roasted onions, pinto beans, tomato and
 celery to the rice.

 4. In a small saucepan, boil the remaining vegetable
 broth down to 3 tablespoons.

 5. Puree the roasted garlic in a food processor.  Add
 the reduced broth, lime juice, oregano, cumin seeds,
 paprika, cayenne, salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
 Process until combined and pour over the salad.  Add
 the cilantro and mix well.  Refrigerate; bring the
 salad to room temperature before serving.
