Briami (Greek Oven-Roasted Vegetables) Recipe By :by evelyn/athens Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Potatoes Side Dishes Vegetables Vegetarian Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 5 large zucchini -- washed and scrubbed and cut crosswise into 1/4 inch thick slices 4 large potatoes -- peeled and cut crosswise into 1/4 inch thick slices 3 garlic cloves -- sliced thin (3 to 4) 1 large onion -- peeled, cut in half, each half cut into thirds, large wedges (Spanish or Bermuda) 2 large tomatoes -- peeled and quartered 1/4 lb hard cheese -- cut into large chunks (I use 'kefalograviera or 'myzithra' which you may not have, something like Parmesan would be excellent) 1/2 cup olive oil 1/4 cup water 1 tablespoon oregano 2 tablespoons fresh spearmint -- minced (or 1 tsp dry) 2 tablespoons cut cilantro (optional) salt and pepper Preheat oven to 420 degrees F. Put everything in a very large baking pan. Pour water, olive oil on top and add herbs. Season generously. Put your clean hands in the pan and give all the veggies a toss so herbs, and oil and salt and pepper go on everything. It looks like a lot but don't worry - it'll 'melt' down considerably during cooking. Roast for a couple of hours, stirring everthing up a couple of times to allow veggies on bottom to come up and brown nicely too. This is delicious with good crusty bread (lovely juices) and feta cheese on the side- like we eat it. Ev's note : A traditional Greek vegetarian dish. Delicious and easy. Great to do when you have a bumper crop of zucchini on hand. Olive oil adds a great flavour element to the dish, and also adds extra calories as Briami is considered a 'main dish' here in Greece. If you choose to serve it as a side, you can cut back some on the olive oil. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * Exported from MasterCook * Briami-small batch Recipe By :evelyn/athens Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Side Dishes Vegetables Vegetarian Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 small russet potato -- sliced 1 1/2 medium zucchini -- sliced 2 small bermuda onion -- quartered 4 cloves garlic -- sliced 6 cherry tomatoes -- halved 1/2 yellow bell pepper -- sliced 1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil Place all veggies in a large roasting pan.
