Thyme Rice

4 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 tablespoon ground thyme
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt (optional, I added this after my mother's recipe)

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix the butter, thyme and garlic salt into the rice until mixed.
  2. 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. 3
    To crispify: Throw the bowl into the oven at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until it's slightly crispy on top.
  4. 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.
