	Directions In a large pot, cook the wild rice according to package directions. Drain and set aside. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of margarine and one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chopped garlic, celery, craisins and dates. Stir to combine. Sauté for 8-10 more minutes. Shut off the heat. In a small skillet, toast the pine nuts, stirring occasionally. Watch carefully so that they don't burn. It takes approximately 5 minutes to get them nicely brown. Add these to the rice mixture, stir and serve with your favorite fish or poultry.	2
