Traditional Greek Summer Roasted Vegetables (Briami) image

A traditional Greek dish highlighting a variety of summer vegetables.

Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories     Vegetarian Main Course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-5

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large (or 2 medium) onion
1 large (or 4-5 small) red pepper
3-4 garlic cloves
2 small Italian eggplants
2-3 small zucchini
4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
1 cup plum or cherry tomatoes, chopped
¾-1 cup tomato passata (or tomato sauce)
1 TBSP. dried Greek oregano
1 tsp. dried mint
¼ cup fresh parsley
¼ cup fresh dill (optional)
¾-1 cup extra virgin olive oil
--- sea salt
--- freshly ground black pepper
¾-1 cup of water

Steps:

  • Prepare all your vegetables by slicing the eggplants, potatoes, and zucchini into ½" slices. Next, chop the onions and the garlic, cut the peppers into 1" chunks, and mince the fresh herbs.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Drizzle some of the olive oil into a large frying pan, set over medium heat. When the oil is hot, cook the eggplants for 5-6 minutes until they become soft and golden brown (you might need to add a bit more olive oil during the frying, as the eggplants absorb a good amount of olive oil as they cook). Transfer the eggplant to a large, ovenproof dish.
  • To the same frying pan add some more olive oil, and, once the oil is heated, add the chopped onion and peppers. Cook for two minutes and add the garlic. Cook a few minutes more, then transfer to the baking dish.
  • Add the potatoes and the zucchini to the baking dish-uncooked--and toss. Cut the tomatoes into chunks (or in half, if you are using cherry tomatoes), and add them to the dish along with the tomato passata, the dried and fresh herbs, and the remaining olive oil. Season everything generously with salt and pepper to taste and combine gently.
  • Pour ¾ cup of the water into the corner of the baking dish then tilt it so the water distributes evenly.
  • Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or, until the vegetables are soft and golden brown. Make sure to check the liquid in the dish (about half way through) and add the rest of the water if necessary. At the end of the cooking time, there should be just a little sauce at the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Let the briam rest for 10 minutes or so to cool down slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature with some Greek Feta on the side and some delicious bread to mop up the sauce!
