Brown Rice Pilaf with Mushrooms and Raisins

I came across a recipe from wholefoodsmarket.com for Brown Rice Pilaf with Mushrooms and Apricots. It sounded like a perfect dish to welcome in the fall season. I thought I had apricots at home, but I didn't.. So I just used raisins. I also added in chopped celery, which complemented this dish beautifully. If you have left over brown rice in the fridge (like I did), this is a perfect way to repurpose your leftovers.
