This recipe is a family favorite I got from my mom who got it from a friend who... well I don't know. But, every time I make it I ask myself why I don't make it more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What type of rice should I use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Obviously you need some wild rice, but you can pair it with brown, white or converted rice. Or a combination of those (like this blend<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of the different rice types take slightly different cooking times and may need additional liquid. I have detailed it in the recipe below. Basically you want to cook both the wild rice and \"other\" rice in stock until done: start with the longest cooking rice then add the rest later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can do it in two separate pots and then combine them at the end as the original recipe instructed. But, I am not big on washing extra dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Variations to Lemon Thyme Wild Rice Pilaf<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is not only simple and healthy, but it's also incredibly customizable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides switching up the rice, you can vary the other ingredients as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swap the thyme for other fresh herbs like oregano, rosemary or basil, Use lime or orange instead of the lemon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could also add a sprinkle of feta cheese or maybe a handful of dried cranberries or chopped nuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
