Ingredients:

1 Tbsp canola oil

1 large onion, peeled and chopped

1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped

1 cup chopped celery

1 bell pepper (color of choice), seeded and chopped

0.23 kg mushrooms, washed and sliced

1 cup diced tart apple (such as Granny Smith)

3 cup cooked brown rice

1/2 cup walnut pieces

1/4 cup finely chopped parsley

1/2 Tbsp orange zest

1/2 tsp chopped fresh sage

1 egg, slightly beaten

1 pinch each of salt & pepper, to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In a large saucepan, heat canola oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, celery and bell pepper. Cook over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the mushrooms and apple and continue cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and place in a large bowl.

Mix in the rice, walnuts, parsley, orange zest and sage. Add egg and mix well to moisten the stuffing. Transfer the mixture to a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
