<poem>
1/2 clove garlic, cut up
1/4 c. finely diced onion
1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. uncooked rice
5 to 6 c. water
1 c. finely diced carrots
1 c. finely diced potatoes
1/2 tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Brown garlic in 2 tbsp. shortening in 10" skillet. Remove garlic. Then add onion and ground beef. Cook until browned, stirring. Add rice and water. Simmer uncovered over low heat for 40 minutes.

Add carrots and potatoes, and continue simmering until tender (20 minutes). Season with soy sauce, salt and pepper. Serve hot. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

NOTE: You can use the equivalent in dried garlic and onion, which is more convenient and easier.
