Thyme Rice

Recipe #301993 | 13 min | 5 min prep | 4 c cooked thyme rice (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Britty

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.

Posted on: May 5, 2008

Ingredients

  • cups cooked white rice
  • 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.
