Boiled rice and roasted potatoes, simultaneously, perfected — Ninja Speedi

by Don  

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of long-grain rice
  • 2 and 1/2 cups of water
  • 2 teaspons of "Better than Bouillon" brand chicken or mushroom base
  • 3 medium-size potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil, or, what the heck 2 tablespoons
  • Onion powder
  • Garlic powder
  • Black pepper
  • Salt
  • Dry chives
  • Dry thyme

Method

  1. Place rice, water and bouillon base in the pot.
  2. In a separate bowl toss together the potatoes, olive oil, and the spices.  I mostly don't measure.  For your first try a teaspon of garlic powder and half a teaspoon of the other spices.  After making this recipe several times, your self-respect will grow and you will mock the precise directions, thinking, "Hah, as if I really needed that beginner advice !
  3. Place crisper in upper position.  Place potatoes on crisper.
  4. Close the cover and set the Speedi to "saute/sear" for 13 minutes.  Don't bother to warm up.  You will need a separate timer; there is no auto-shutoff for this function.  Start.
  5. Set the Speedi to "bake/roast" for 11 minutes at 390°.  Start. 

Notes

Potatoes and rice were both perfect.
