BRIAM (GREEK BAKED ZUCCHINI AND POTATOES)



Briam (Greek Baked Zucchini and Potatoes) image

Briam is a traditional Greek roasted vegetable dish with potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes, and red onions with lots of olive oil. It is a typical example of Greek cuisine where a few simple ingredients are turned into an utterly delicious dish with little effort. It can be served as a main course. With olive oil as the only source of fat it is a quintessential example of the Mediterranean diet, and it is vegan to boot. If preferred, serve with a hearty chunk of feta on the side.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings (8 pancakes)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium zucchinis, shredded on the large holes of a box grater
2 medium Idaho potatoes, shredded on the large holes of a box grater
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
Zest of 1/2 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, for cooking
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons finely sliced fresh chives
1 tablespoon olive oil
Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Set up your grill for even medium-high heat by building coals evenly on the bottom of the grill.
  • Place the shredded zucchinis and potatoes into a tea towel and wring as much moisture out as you can. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, flour, scallions, dill and lemon zest and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the zucchinis and potatoes and mix to combine. Using a 1/3 cup measure, scoop the mixture into balls on a cookie tray.
  • Place a large cast-iron pan on the grill and add a good splash of oil (it should be 1- to 1 1/2-inches deep in the pan). Set a cooling rack in a sheet tray and set aside.
  • Bring the oil to 350 degrees F, then add 3 balls to the pan and flatten into pancakes. Brown and crisp on one side, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and brown and crisp on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to the cooling rack set and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining potato pancakes, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed.
  • For the yogurt sauce: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, chives, olive oil, lemon zest and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the potato zucchini pancakes with a dollop of yogurt sauce.

MASHED POTATOES WITH THYME-LEMON BUTTER



Mashed Potatoes with Thyme-Lemon Butter image

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) butter, room temperature
4 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
1 tablespoon minced lemon peel (yellow part only)
4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups half and half

Steps:

  • Mix butter, thyme, and lemon in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (Butter can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.)
  • Place potatoes in large pot. Add enough cold water to cover. Bring to boil. Cover partially and cook until potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Return potatoes to same pot and mash. Heat half and half in small saucepan over medium heat until hot; stir into potatoes. Set aside 2 tablespoons thyme-lemon butter. Mix remaining butter into potatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer mashed potatoes to large bowl. Top with 2 tablespoons butter and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for mashing because they have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender: This will help to bring out their flavor and make them easier to mash.
  • Drain the potatoes well before mashing them: This will prevent the mash from becoming watery.
  • Use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes: This will give you a smooth and lump-free mash.
  • Add butter, milk, and seasonings to taste: Start with a small amount of each and add more until you reach the desired flavor and consistency.
  • Fold in the zucchini, lemon zest, and thyme: This will add brightness and flavor to the mash.
  • Serve the mash immediately: It is best when fresh.

Conclusion:

Zucchini potato lemon thyme mash is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, flavorful, and packed with vegetables. This mash is a great way to use up leftover zucchini and potatoes, and it is also a healthy and satisfying dish.
