Ingredients:
- 1 zucchini
- 1 aubergine (eggplant)
- 1 potato
- 1 carrot
- 2 onions
- 2 green peppers
- 1 cup fava beans (may substitute green Lima beans)
- 1 1/2 cups tomatoes, diced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley
- Black pepper, to taste
- Water
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Vegetables: Slice all vegetables into 1-inch pieces, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
-
Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, drizzle olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the onions, green peppers, zucchini, aubergine, potato, and carrot. Sauté until the vegetables are lightly browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, about 8-10 minutes.
-
Add the Beans and Tomatoes: Once the vegetables are browned, add the fava beans (or green Lima beans), diced tomatoes, chopped parsley, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Simmer the Stew: Pour enough water into the pot to cover the vegetables and beans. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and let the stew simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and to prevent sticking.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the vegetables are cooked to perfection, remove the pot from the heat. Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the Briami hot, either on its own or over a bed of fluffy rice or couscous, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
This Briami recipe is not only bursting with Mediterranean flavors but also packed with wholesome nutrients, making it a perfect choice for a nourishing weeknight meal. Enjoy the hearty goodness of this Greek vegetable stew with your loved ones and savor each comforting bite! 🍲🥗
