Briam (Greek Mixed Vegetables in Tomato Sauce)

Ingredients

  • 4 tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano
  • 1/4 cup capers
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 2 potatoes, sliced
  • 2 eggplant, sliced
  • 3 zucchini, sliced
  • 3 green bell peppers, sliced
  • 2 cups okra

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place three of the tomatoes, the 1/2 cup olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar, parsley, mint, basil, oregano, capers, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor and process to create a fresh tomato sauce. Season with salt and black pepper; set aside. Chop the remaining tomato; set aside.

Step 2

Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the onions until slightly golden, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Stir together the onions, potatoes, eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, okra, the reserved chopped tomato, and the fresh tomato sauce, and place the mixture in a large baking pan. If needed, stir in a little water so that the vegetables are just covered with sauce.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until all vegetables are tender, about 1 hour.
