This is an exciting take on the classic summer oven roasted classic Briam (Roasted mixed vegetables) and it is by far my daughter’s favourite dish. I always make big patches of it and freeze it so that we can enjoy it in autumn and winter.
What is the secret to this Thracian Fried Briam recipe?
The secret to this braim recipe is the freshness of ingredients. I cannot stress enough the importance of getting the best fresh seasonal vegetables. I tend to get my vegetables in season and almost always from local vegetable farm markets where you can see and smell the freshness of the vegetables. When not in season, I opt for organic vegetables.
How does this recipe differ from the classic Briam recipe?
The clue is in the title of this Thracian Fried Briam. Whilst the classic Briam is prepared in the oven, this Thracian Fried Briam is fried. This is not as heavy as a dish as it may sound like. Once the vegetables are lightly fried, I rest them on paper towels to soak the excess oil.
What can I serve this recipe with?
You can serve this Briam recipe with a traditional Greek salad (Horiatiki), Spicy Greek Feta Dip (Tirokafteri) or plain Feta cheese.
Can you freeze this dish?
I absolutely love this dish and I make lots of it over the summer months. I freeze it and enjoy it in autumn and winter.
