While rice is cooking melt ½ tablespoon margarine in a Cuisinart® Anodized Non-Stick 3-½-quart sauté pan over medium heat. Add pecans and toast, stirring often, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly. Place pecans in a Cuisinart® food processor fitted with the metal blade and pulse to coarsely chop, about 6 times. Reserve. Add celery and onion; pulse to coarsely chop, about 4 - 5 times. Leave in work bowl. Insert the standard slicing disc. Place the mushrooms in the large feed tube and slice using light pressure. About 5 minutes before the rice is done, heat remaining 1 tablespoon margarine in the sauté pan over medium heat. Add vegetables and cook, stirring, until tender, about 3 - 4 minutes. Drain rice; add rice and pecans to skillet and cook until heated through, about 3 - 4 minutes. Season with pepper and salt. Serve warm
