Chop the celery, onions, green pepper and quarter the mushrooms. Heat a large pot over medium heat & add 1 tablespoon of oil - add in the vegetables and 1 tablespoon of the seasoning mix. Sauté for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are translucent.
Add in 1 cup of rice to the vegetable medleyand stir to combine well. Increase the heat to high and add the water. When the mixture comes to a boil, turn the heat to cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 30 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
