Lemon-Thyme Rice

Serves 8, but can be cut in half to serve 4.  I made this with fresh-made stock with no seasoning and found that no salt is necessary.
 

4 ˝ cups low fat chicken stock
1
˝ cups wild rice
  
˝ teaspoon salt, optional
    3 cups low fat chicken stock
1
˝ cups converted white rice
  
˝ teaspoon salt, optional
 

   juice and zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons fresh thyme *
1 tablespoon honey
   salt and pepper to taste
1 cup peeled, seeded and dices tomato, optional
 

Bring 4 ˝ cups stock to a boil and add wild rice and salt.  Reduce heat, cover and cook for about 45 minutes until rice is done.

Bring 3 cups stock to a boil and add the converted rice and cook for about 20 to 25 minutes until rice is done.
 

In large sauté pan over medium-high heat, combine wild rice, white rice, lemon juice, zest and thyme. *  Cook until the liquid had evaporated.  Add honey and season to taste with salt and pepper.  Fold in tomato. 

Serve warm with Lemon Chicken.

*  Use a few sprigs of fresh thyme tied in a bundle with kitchen twine.  Place in the pan with the other ingredients.  When cooked the bundle can be pulled from the dish using tongs.
