I love this! So simple! I would love to add sweet potato as well

Love it! Also another dish I like is briam and even better is a dish called tourlou (a local traditional dish in some areas of Peloponisos) which is similar to briam but with boiled vegetables - it has a more refined taste. I first had this dish at a restaurant in Athens called Οψοποιείν on Ippokratous street.

I do a version of this, except I tend to use oregano, fresh if I have it growing. I've also made "briam". On hot days in the summer, the last thing I want to do is roast vegetables in the oven, so I tend to gravitate towards making my vegetables on the stovetop. My favorite is to make them with a combination of green beans, summer squash, and zucchini. Served with rice pilaf, it even makes for a nice, light supper.

How do you make vegetables on the stovetop?

This is pretty much how I make it, too. I sometimes take the extra step to make a ladolemono and pour a little over the vegetables before baking, but I don't always take the extra step:

I saute a chopped onion or (or I use a half a chopped onion if I don't have a lot of vegetables to use) and then add the vegetables, a little water, and either some chopped tomato or a little tomato sauce or tomato space. I always season it with some oregano. If I have them, I stir in chopped fresh garden scallions just before serving.

Scallions are always a must!! And they look so great as a garnish

I agree, and I sometimes use chives instead if I have those. But, I like the taste of scallions in this much better.

I’ve never heard of chives. Do they use them in Greece?

Yes they do! I saw chives growing in pots on balconies. It kind of looks like regular lawn grass, but it has a slight oniony flavor. Chives are best used as a garnish.

Yes, best as a garnish. They don't have a super strong flavour
