3. In a medium skillet, cook onions and celery in olive oil until the onion is translucent. Add garlic and sage and cook 1 minute longer. Add potatoes and mix well.
4. In a large bowl, combine lentils, wild rice, onion mixture, walnuts, bread crumbs, vinegar, and salt and pepper and mix well. It is ready to stuff into the bird of your choice.
