PREPARATION
For the rice
Cook the rice a day in advance. When cooled, spread the cooked rice onto a rimmed baking sheet or into a casserole, cover, and refrigerate. The rice can be steamed in a saucepan or uncovered in the steam oven. Brown rice was used in this recipe and cooked for 38 minutes at 220°F in a steam oven.
For the vegetables:
Preheat the oven to 375°F in the convection roast mode.
Cut the potatoes and onion into wedges and slice the cauliflower. Place the vegetables in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and freshly ground pepper.
Spread the vegetables onto a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them out so they are not crowded, and bake for 20 minutes. Don't worry if you have to use two trays; they will cook evenly in Convection.
Toss the mushrooms in a separate bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper. When the timer has elapsed, add the mushrooms to the baking pan and cook for another 10 - 15 minutes until the vegetables are crispy around the edges.
Preparing the rice:
When the mushrooms go into the oven, heat a large saute pan or wok to heat the rice. The pan needs to be very hot to stir-fry the rice, so let it heat on medium-low heat until it is evenly heated.
Meanwhile, prepare the stir-fry sauce by combining the cumin, turmeric, garlic, 2 tbsp chopped chives, oregano, olive oil, and soy sauce.
Mix the stir-fry sauce with the rice and add to the pan. Immediately increase the heat to medium high and cook the rice until heated, approximately 5 minutes. Move away the pan from the heat and cover with a lid.
Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and mix them with the rice. Garnish with the chopped chives.
