The briam - Μπριάμ

The briam is a vegetable pan typical of Greek cuisine.
A very very tasty and at the same time extremely light course: I can also eat a good amount of it.

The ingredients are very simple: seasonal vegetables cut into cubes, spices, feta cheese (that never fails!), EVO oil and water so as not to attack.

Everything is put in a pan and fired for an hour.

Every now and then it should be checked to add a little water if necessary and, halfway through cooking, it is covered with chopped feta cheese.

I prepare it like this ...

Ingredients (v. Note):

Preparation:

Start by washing all the vegetables.

Preheat the oven (static) to 200 ° C.

Then peel and cut into slices (about half a centimeter) the potatoes; keep them in cold water.

Chop the garlic and put it in a bowl; chop the onions into small pieces and add them.

Continue with peppers, aubergines and courgettes; pour them into the pan and season with a little oil and an idea of ​​salt, pepper and oregano.
Mix well.

Slice the tomatoes

Grease a baking sheet with a little oil and place the potato slices in a single layer (drained from the water)

Add salt as soon as you place the tomatoes on top and then cover with the vegetables in the bowl.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for half an hour / three quarters of an hour (depending on the degree of cooking you want to give to the vegetables: I do not go too much cooked ...).

After this time remove from the oven, mix well and add, if necessary, some water. Sprinkle with the crumbled slice cheese and bake again until the feta begins to darken; in any case at least twenty minutes.
(if you want to move forward, the first part of cooking can be done the day before, in the evening, for lunch the following day, or in the morning for the same day's dinner)

Our briam is ready:
bon appetit!
