Notes

- Serving suggestions
- Storage
- You can change up the vegetables to whatever you have at hand. I’ll often add sweet potato, squash or pumpkin, bell peppers and large mushrooms.
- I’ll change the herbs and use dry versions if that’s all I have. I’ll use either fresh or dried dill, parsley, tarragon, rosemary, thyme, tarragon, or marjoram.
- You can serve briam as a main course or a starter. It’s also a great side dish alongside other Greek or Mediterranean style dishes. I serve straignt from the baking sheet.
- I like to crumble over some salty, tangy feta cheese and arrange some lemon wedges. I’ll also drizzle over more (yes more) Greek olive oil just before serving.
- However you decide to serve, be sure to include a bread element of some kind. Crusty sourdough or soft pita breads are ideal.
- Fridge: Briam stays fresh for 3-4 days in the fridge (stored in an airtight container or bag). Leave out for an hour to eat at room temperature or heat in a 200ºC/400ºF oven for 5 minutes.
- Freezer: It’ll stay fresh in airtight container in the freezer for 2-3 months. Thaw thoroughly to enjoy at room temp, or again, heat in a 200ºc/400ºF oven on a baking sheet or roasting tin for 5 minutes from thawed.
