Earthy, hearty and with plenty of feta cheese, because even winter has its own vegetable combo!
Winter vegetables hide their charms, which are revealed in all their glory when you put them in the oven and let their flavors combine. We want something earthy and hearty. We put whatever vegetables and roots we have in a pan, add a lot of olive oil, flavor them with thyme and lemon and bake them until soft.
And because briam without feta just cannot be, at the end of cooking we sprinkle our vegetables with plenty of TAHAS Feta Cheese!
Vegetable Combo (Briam) Ingredients
- 200 gr TAHAS FARM GREEK FETA PDO
- ½ cauliflower (just (the florets)
- ½ broccoli (just the florets)
- 500 gr. baby potatoes, cut in half
- 2 carrots in rings
- 1 onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 large sweet potato, diced
- 2 beets, diced
- ½ head of garlic (cut in half)
- 1 lemon, cut in half
- juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 5-6 sprigs of fresh thyme
- olive oil
- salt
- freshly ground pepper
Preparation
1) Fill a pot with water, salt it well and bring it to a boil. Add the cauliflower and broccoli and boil for 4-5 minutes. Drain them immediately and shake them well to remove excess water.
2) Place the cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, carrots, onion, sweet potatoes and beetroot in a large baking dish. Sprinkle them with salt and freshly ground pepper.
3) In a bowl, mix about 100 ml of olive oil with the lemon juice and mustard and pour the mixture over the vegetables. Mix gently to combine the ingredients and spread them evenly.
4) Place the half head of garlic and the 2 lemon wedges cut side up, brush their surfaces with the liquid mixture from the pan and sprinkle the whole combo with the thyme leaves.
5) Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C in the air, for about 1 hour, until the vegetables soften and cook well. During baking, stir the vegetables 2-3 times to prevent them from drying out.
6) Take out the pan, sprinkle with TAHAS FARM GREEK FETA PDO and put it back in the oven, at the same temperature, and bake for another 10-12 minutes.
Bon appetit!
