About this recipe

Briam is a traditional Greek dish that embodies the flavors of the Mediterranean, showcasing seasonal vegetables. It is often prepared during the summer months when fresh produce is abundant, symbolizing the Greek philosophy of using simple, wholesome ingredients to create comfort food.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes - peeled and sliced
  • 2 medium zucchini - sliced
  • 2 medium eggplants - sliced
  • 1 large onion - sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic - minced
  • 4 medium tomatoes - chopped or canned
  • 1/4 cup olive oil - plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano - or to taste
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large baking dish, arrange layers of potatoes, zucchini, eggplants, and onions evenly, adding the minced garlic as you layer.
  2. In a bowl, mix the chopped tomatoes with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the arranged vegetables, ensuring everything is well coated. Drizzle extra olive oil on top and cover with foil.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, removing the foil in the last 10 minutes to allow the top to become slightly crispy.

Chef's Tip

For an authentic flavor, use a mix of seasonal vegetables and feel free to experiment with herbs like thyme or basil based on your preference.
