- 55g/2oz wild rice
- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 1 tbsp fresh sage
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1-2 tbsp shoyu or Henderson's relish
Instructions

- Add the mushrooms and fry for a further five minutes, then stir in the chestnuts, rosemary, sage and cooked wild rice and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
