I'm posting a bunch of my favorite recipes. I can't take credit for them, they are recipes that I have found on the internet or through friends.  I don't have the nutritional breakdown, but Daily Plate could easily calculate.  Enjoy!

Cook and stir for about 3 minutes to toast them. Add remaining olive oil and saute mixture for about 3 minutes, until onion is soft. Add mushrooms, and cook mixture for another 5 minutes or so, until the mushrooms are wilted. Add broth, pepper, and salt. Bring mixture to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer pilaf for about 40 minutes, stirring it occassionally.  Remove from heat, stir in parsley. Season with lemon juice, if desired.
