2-3 medium stalks of celery, finely sliced

1/2 pound mixed mushrooms (cremini and shitake) stems removed and thinly sliced

1 Teaspoon of fine sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup of mushroom or vegetable stock

1 drop sage vitality essential oil

2 Tablespoons flat parsley, chopped

2 green onions, finely chopped

While rice cooks, preheat oven to 350 place pecans on baking sheet and toast until browned and fragrant, 4-5 set aside and let cool.

Heat half the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced celery and saute, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes. Add remaining oil along with sliced mushrooms, salt and a generous pinch of pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked rice, stock, cranberries, golden raisins, and essential oils. Cover and simmer until liquid has evaporated, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in parsley.
