Rice Stuffing W/ Mushrooms & Chestnuts (Gluten Free)

Suzy_Q's Note:

As a teenager, a friends' mother made this for Thanksgiving. She was an old hippie and I loved being in her kitchen which was filled with earthiness and health. I was amazed at how delicious this was and can still remember her telling me everything she put in it as I was intent to make it myself. Surprisingly I haven't made it but wanted to write it down somewhere. Since it was not given to me as a written recipe I am guessing quantities and a couple minor ingredients. I can't wait to make this. Herbamare is a brand of sea salt flavored with herbs that is essential and perfect for this. You will find it in the health food store but can substitute another salt if necessary.
