There is no food more SUMMERY and TASTEFUL than this : Briam with Gnocchi & Parmesan!

The Greek Briam recipe is basically roasted vegetables with tomato sauce and olive oil! We usually make it every summer, picking all the vegetables from our garden: zucchini, tomatoes, fresh herbs, carrots, eggplants, peppers. Our SECRETS are the extra virgin olive oil from our olive trees and the local feta cheese!

Today, we tried to make a new way of Βriam, a Greek – Italian way, with Gnocchi instead of potatoes and Parmesan instead of feta cheese!

Ingredients:

• 500 ml water
• 1 tablespoon ground peppers
• 1 tablespoon paprika 
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 50 gr. parmesan flakes
• 3 tablespoon olive oil
• fresh oregano leaves 

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 180^oC.
2. Wash and cut your vegetables into big squares. Place them in a oven pan with gnocchi, tomato sauce and all spices and bake for 30- 40 minutes to 180^oC.
