Healthy Vegan Pilaf

1 small zucchini, cut into ¼ inch dices

1 1/2 cups raw wild rice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon pine nuts
1/4 cup golden raisins
1 garlic clove, minced
1 medium eggplant, skinned and cut into ½ inch dices
1 large yellow bell pepper
1 large red bell pepper
8 mushrooms

Scatter salt on the diced eggplant. Set aside. Rinse the cubes with cold water after 30 minutes. Use paper towels to remove the moisture. Remove the seeds from the peppers and cut them into thin strips. Cut zucchini into cubes and slice mushrooms. Cook the rice according to the instructions available on the package.
Put the olive oil in a frying pan and heat it. Brown the garlic and eggplant on each side, approximately 3 minutes. Add the peppers and zucchini and keep stirring for another 3 minutes on lower heat. Put the golden raisins, pine nuts and mushrooms in the pan and stir until the mushrooms are warm. Pour the mixture over rice.
