   about 5 minutes.  Add the thyme and white or brown
   rice., cooking until rice is hot to the back of your
   hand about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add the
   boiling stock.  Stir in the lentils.  return saucepan

   bring the foil down to the surface of the liquid,
   crimping the edges to seal well.  Seal with the lid
   and transfer the pan to the lower rack of the oven,
   cooking until the liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 20
   minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.  Add the wild rice,
   parsley and remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
   Transfer to serving dish and garnish with sprigs of
   herbs,
