BRIAM: TRADITIONAL GREEK ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place a rack in the middle.
• Place sliced potatoes and zucchini in a large mixing bowl. Season with kosher salt, pepper, oregano, and rosemary. Add fresh parsley, garlic, and a generous drizzle extra virgin olive oil. Toss to make sure the vegetables are well coated with the EVOO and spices.
• Grab a large round pan on skillet (I used an 11-inch oven safe pan. See notes for more options.) Pour 1/2 of the canned diced tomatoes in and spread to cover the bottom of the pan.
• Arrange the seasoned potatoes, zucchini, and sliced onions in the pan in rows (simply going around the shape of the pan and alternating.)
• If you have any of the extra virgin olive oil and garlic mixture left in the mixing bowl, pour that all over the veggies, then top with the remaining diced tomatoes from your can.
• Cover the pan with foil (tent foil a bit so it is not touching the veggies). Bake in 400 degrees F heated-oven for 45 minutes. Take pan out briefly to carefully remove foil, then place back in oven, uncovered, and roast for another 30-40 minutes or until the veggies are soft and charred and most of the liquid has evaporated. (ovens do vary, so pay attention and check as needed.)
• Remove from oven. Serve warm or at room temperature with an added generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. (see suggestions for to serve along.)

IKARIAN VEGETABLE MEDLEY

Steps:

• Place zucchini, eggplant, and bell pepper each in a separate colander set in a bowl. Toss zucchini with 1 teaspoon salt. Toss eggplant with 2 teaspoons salt. Toss bell peppers with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let vegetables drain 30 minutes, then spread each vegetable on a separate clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth) and pat dry.
• Oil bottom of a 4- to 6-quart wide heavy pot using 1 tablespoon oil.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onions and garlic, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened and beginning to brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer onion mixture to a bowl.
• While onions cook, peel potatoes and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Heat 3/4 cup oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry potatoes, stirring occasionally (potatoes will not be completely covered with oil), until just tender and pale golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer potatoes using tongs or a slotted spoon to pot, keeping as much oil as possible in skillet, and spread potatoes evenly in bottom of pot. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, then spread one third of onion mixture evenly over potatoes.
• Add zucchini to skillet and fry, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer with slotted spoon to pot, leaving as much oil as possible in skillet, and spread zucchini evenly. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, then spread half of remaining onion mixture over zucchini.
• Replenish oil in skillet if necessary to total about 3/4 cup and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry eggplant in several batches (1 layer deep, without crowding), turning over once, until golden, 6 to 7 minutes per batch. (Replenish and heat oil between batches.) Transfer eggplant as cooked to pot with other vegetables using tongs, arranging them evenly, then top with remaining onion mixture.
• Fry bell peppers in oil remaining in skillet, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes, then transfer to pot and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Halve tomatoes crosswise, then rub cut sides of tomatoes against large holes of a box grater set over a bowl, reserving pulp and discarding skins. Spread tomato pulp evenly over bell peppers in pot. Simmer mixture, covered, until vegetables are very tender and almost melded together, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove lid and cool vegetables to warm or room temperature before serving.
