2. Set aside.
3. In a large non stick frypan, heat olive oil; add mushrooms, celery, onions, garlic, water chestnuts,celery salt and lemon grass/chili blend, saute until onions are soft, about 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Add rice and roasted red peppers, if using; mix and stir fry for 5 minutes or until heated through.
5. May be used as a stuffing for poultry and salmon or eat it as a side dish pilaf.
6. Any spices you like can be added or subbed in this pilaf, very versitile, I often add poultry dressing if its for a chicken. Change the spices and veggies to suit what ever you are stuffing.
