HOW TO MAKE-AHEAD AND FREEZE COOKED RICE OR ANY GRAIN - KIT…
Steps:
- Cook the grains: Cook your grain as usual, using the same amount of liquid as usual and cooking until the grains are tender. If you still have liquid in the pan after cooking, drain the liquid.
- Cool the grains: Run a baking sheet under cool water. Pour off the water, but do not dry — this will help keep the grains from sticking as they dry. Spread the grains in an even layer over the baking sheet and cool for about 10 minutes, until they've cooled to room temperature. (Be sure to refrigerate or freeze the grains as soon as they are cool to avoid any food safety risks.)
- Portion the grains into freezer bags: Use a measuring cup to portion the grains into your freezer bags or containers. Portion the grains according to how much you typically use for your recipes; if you're not sure how you will use the grains, freeze them in 1-cup or 2-cup portions. This will give you versatility in how you use them.
- Press out as much air as possible and seal: The more air you can squeeze out, the longer your grains will keep without developing freezer burn. If you have a vacuum sealer, now is the time to use it.
- Label the bags: Label each bag with the type of grain, the portion amount, and the date.
- Freeze the grains for up to 3 months: Stack the bags on top of each other and freeze flat. Frozen grains will generally keep for about 3 months before starting to develop freezer burn; grains will keep longer if vacuum-sealed.
- Use the frozen grains: Grains do not need to be thawed before using; thawing can give some grains a gummy texture. There are three ways you can use or warm the frozen grains:
- Add grains directly to soups and skillet dishes: Increase the cooking time by a few minutes to allow the grains to reheat.
- Warm grains in the microwave: Transfer the grains to a microwave-safe bowl or other container and sprinkle a tablespoon or two of water over top. Cover loosely. Warm in 1-minute increments, stirring in between, until the grains are hot.
- Warm grains on the stovetop: Transfer the grains to a small saucepan and sprinkle a tablespoon or two of water over the top. Stir frequently as the grains warm and add another tablespoon or two of water as needed to keep grains from sticking or burning on the bottom.

Steps:
Cut the potatoes into large, even-sized pieces and put in a large pan of cold salted water. Cover and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, then drain and return to the pan. Cover with a clean tea towel and the lid. Leave to steam dry for 5 minutes. Remove the tea towel and replace the lid. Shake the pan to roughen the edges of the potatoes, then tip on to a large baking tray, spread them out and leave to cool completely.
To freeze: open freeze the potatoes on the baking tray, loosely covered with clingfilm, until solid. When frozen, tip the cold potatoes into large freezer bags and return to the freezer.
To roast: there's no need to defrost the potatoes first. Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas 7. Heat the olive oil or duck fat in a large roasting tin in the oven for 5 minutes. Carefully add the frozen parboiled potatoes and turn them to coat well in the hot oil. Cook for 40-50 minutes, turning in the oil once, until golden brown and beautifully crisp. Take out of the oven and sprinkle with crushed sea salt flakes and a little chopped rosemary, if you like, to serve.
Get ahead: freeze up to a month ahead. Parboiling potatoes before freezing them is not only a great way to get ahead, it also makes the potatoes extra crunchy when cooked. Roast from frozen while your cooked Christmas turkey is resting.
