** Just Before Serving **
Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok. Add carrots and stir-fry over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add onion and celery and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and zucchini and stir-fry for 3 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the grain mixture and the olives. Return to the heat and cook until just heated through, stirring occasionally. Add cheese and toss just to mix. Serve immediately.

NOTE: The grain mixture can be prepared ahead; cool and store covered in the refrigerator. Heat slightly, in microwave or oven, before combining with stir-fry mixture. Also, 1 6oz box of long grain and wild rice mix can be substituted for the wild rice, bulgur and barley in this recipe. Prepare mix according to the package directions, then combine with the stir-fried vegetables as above. ** Dallas Morning News -- Neighborhood Shopper -- 25 Dec 96 **
