brown rice (optional)
1 20-ounce can crushed pineapple, in its own juice
1 tablespoon all fruit apricot jam
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon Bragg Liquid Aminos
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 cup snow peas, cut in half
1 large onion, cut into wedges and separated

If using rice, prepare according to package directions. In a large skillet stir together the crushed pineapple with its juice, apricot jam, garlic, aminos, and sesame oil.

Meanwhile, lightly toast sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat for five minutes, or until lightly toasted, shaking pan frequently. Set aside 1/2 tablespoon for garnish. Add rest of toasted sesame seeds to a Vita-Mix or other powerful blender and blend into a powder. Set aside. When vegetables are done, add the blended sesame seeds, beans, and spinach.
