Place water in 1-cup glass measure; microwave on High 1 minute. Stir in mushrooms; let stand until mushrooms rehydrate, about 20 minutes.
Remove mushrooms, finely chop, and return to liquid; set aside.
In large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shallot, bell pepper, and celery; cook stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender, about 5 - 6 minutes. Stir in rice, broth, kale, thyme, salt, pepper, and mushrooms along with their liquid; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Let stand covered 5 - 10 minutes. Stir in sunflower kernels. Garnish with parsley.
