Traditional Briam - Greek mixed roasted vegetables in the oven
The Briam or vegetable turlou (Mixed roasted vegetables) in the oven is one of the favorite traditional dishes of Greek cuisine because it has almost all the summer vegetable garden in one pan. The secret for sure success is the way you cut the vegetables so that they don't melt. If you cut them small, the zucchini, peppers , eggplant, and onion will melt, so cut them into a larger size. Potatoes to cook at the same time as the other vegetables should be cut into smaller pieces and of course we always cook with fresh seasonal herbs ,fresh tomatoes grated on the grater and accompanied with Greek feta cheese and freshly baked bread.
