Ratatoulli (Greek Briami)
It is a very tasty treat in any season. My favorite combination of vegetables with spices and herbs to enhance its taste. Can be eaten either as a complement to a meal, or as a light meal itself. In Greece similar combination of vegetable recipe is called Briami ,and is available to buy in tubs in any supermarket for a quick meal. Makes a delicious meal combined with bread, or on its own. It is easy to make, and is a delight for anyone’s palate.
