3 oz (90 g) whole mushrooms, wiped clean and quartered

Directions
Cook rice according to package directions. Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat until hot. Add walnuts and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until fragrant, stirring frequently. Set aside on separate plate.
Using the same skillet, add 1 tsp (5 mL) of the canola oil; swirling to coat bottom. Add mushrooms and onion, lightly coat vegetables with canola cooking spray and cook 2 minutes. Add corn, bell peppers and poultry seasoning and sauté for 5 minutes or until vegetables are just tender. Remove from heat, cover to keep warm.
Drain rice, shaking off excess liquid and add to mushroom mixture; stir in walnuts and black pepper. Drizzle the remaining 2 tsp (10 mL) canola oil over all and toss gently.
