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.
