Thyme Rice

Submitted by MrsBritt

"My mother has used this for a stuffing for turkey and cornish hens, but I like to mix in some peas and serve it as a side dish. This is the recipe for the basic stuffing my mother uses."

 

• Ready In: 13mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Yields: 4 c cooked thyme rice

ingredients

• 946.36 ml cooked white rice
• 14.79 ml ground thyme
• 78.78 ml butter
• 2.46 ml garlic salt (optional, I added this after my mother's recipe)

directions

1. Mix the butter, thyme and garlic salt into the rice until mixed.
2. As a stuffing: Stuff into cornish hen or turkey and bake until bird is done. I serve the stuffing still inside the hen, but I take it out of the turkey and sometimes bake the rice a bit more for the added crisp. (My family likes crispy rice :) ).
3. To crispify: Throw the bowl into the oven at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until it's slightly crispy on top.
4. As a side dish, I mix as above and add peas and serve. I imagine the rice would work well mixed with other veggies, but we just love our peas so much that it's normally what I add. Trust me and use real butter, and don't omit.

This was a really nice side dish. I didn't have ground thyme, so used some crushed dried thyme leaves. Thanks for sharing this nice recipe. Made for Spring PAC 2013.
