As of march 21,2005 I adopted this recipe and did some tweeking.I hope you give it a try. The 2 reviews are before the tweeking. Briam is a summer favorite Greek vegetable casserole which is served as a main course dish when lighter, cooked food is desired. Briam is often varied by the addition artichoke hearts, in fact any vegetables you have on hand will likely go well in briam. UMMM I think I'd even like some olives and or capers in it.

Tips for a Perfect Briam:

- Use fresh, ripe vegetables for the best flavor and texture. - Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so they cook evenly. - Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the vegetables. This will prevent them from steaming instead of roasting. - Season the vegetables generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their natural flavors. - Use a good quality olive oil for roasting the vegetables. This will add a rich, nutty flavor to the dish. - Roast the vegetables until they are tender and slightly caramelized. This will give them a delicious, complex flavor. - Serve the briam hot or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed as a main course or as a side dish.
