- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Place walnuts on a baking tray and roast for 8 to 10 minutes. Stir once or twice for even toasting.
- Heat oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Add onion and mushrooms then cook until tender and golden brown.
- Pour in stock, stir in rice, reduce heat to low then cover. Simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. If after 20 minutes there is still liquid, remove cover and cook until liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat then stir in walnuts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Used different ingredients. I have made this a few times now, and keep tweaking it as I can't ever leave well enough alone. If I can find it, I use a package of mixed mushrooms that I found in my supermarket. I also add some sauteed spinach, minced garlic and sherry to it, to give it some zip. - 29 Sep 2008
