Ingredients
Instructions
How to Make Briam:
- Start by slicing the vegetables.
- Season sliced potatoes, eggplant and zucchini in a large mixing bowl with salt, pepper, parsley, oregano, rosemary, garlic, and olive oil. Toss to make sure the vegetables are thoroughly coated. Give everything a good mix so that the veggies are well seasoned.
- In a round 12" baking pan, pour half of the diced tomatoes/passata and spread to cover bottom of pan.
- Then arrange the seasoned vegetables in rows.
- You can randomly lay out the veg slices if you don’t want to spend too much time arranging them. If there’s any olive oil or herb/garlic mixture left in the mixing bowl, pour that over the vegetables.Top with the remaining tomato puree or passata.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake at 390°F (200°C) for 30 minutes.
- Check if the potatoes are tender and remove the foil. Roast for 10-20 more minutes for the liquid to reduce and for the vegetables to get a golden brown color.
- Serve with feta cheese, bread, and Greek olives.
