Briami (Greek Oven-Roasted Vegetables) Recipe #59083
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.
4-5
servings
2½ hours 30 min prep 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
3-4
garlic cloves, sliced thin
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 excelle)
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.
- Will probably serve 6 hungry people, or maybe not. We go through it fast. It's even better the next day.

A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
