Ingredients

  • 2 zucchini sliced into 1 cm discs
  • 3 potatoes peeled, cut in half and sliced into 1 cm "half-moons."
  • 1 red onion sliced thinly
  • ⅓ cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 tomatoes grated or 200 grams of chopped tomatoes from a can
  • ⅓ cup parsley finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 180 deg C (350 F) and start preparing your vegetables. (Peel and chop your zucchini, potatoes and onions).
  2. Place the vegetables in a 30 cm (12”) baking tray. (see note 1)
  3. Add the olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, parsley, salt and pepper.
  4. Give everything a good stir, mix well and make sure not to overcrowd the pan - they should be in a single layer - Bake in the oven for half an hour.
  5. Remove the dish from the oven and stir everything again. If you find the briam is a little dry, add a little water around the vegetables (be careful not to drown the dish with water; otherwise you will end up with boiled vegetables). Place back in the oven for another 30 minutes. (see note 2)
  6. Remove and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Feel free to use the above ingredients to start this delicious briam.
  • You may also add:
  • Just be sure to adjust your olive oil if adding any extra vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish - the vegetables should be in a single layer. This will allow them to roast evenly. Otherwise, they'll steam.
  • Be careful not to drown the veggies with water; otherwise, you will end up with boiled vegetables!  Remember, this is a baked vegetable dish. (Start by adding half a cup of water and checking again in the last 15 minutes).
  • bell peppers
  • eggplants
  • carrots
  • sliced cherry tomatoes
  • finely chopped dill, mint or oregano
