(speaks Russian) I’m not even able to talk English and I start talking Russian! So, today I am going to make a very vegetarian dish. We will cook the vegetables in the proper way in the oven, then I will glaze them with a nice Greek glaze, based on yogurt, and at the end you will have the best roast vegetables you ever tried! And let’s start! First, we have…you know…we have to preheat the pan, high heat, non-stick pan. On heat and let it get extremely hot. And now, it’s time to start cutting our veggies. I have plenty of veggies here, so I need an eggplant. And cut the eggplant into small cubes. I have a nice bowl here and all the veggies will get in. Second, the zucchini. You need two small zucchinis or one large one. Also cut in small pieces. One potato, skin on… inside the bowl. One onion, thinly slice… inside the bowl. And now, I need peppers. Two “carota”. “Carota” is the Greek word for carrots. And again, cut the “carota” into small pieces. And in this way, we will have different textures to our food. Just cut them… and the veggies go in. Thinly slice three cloves of garlic… and inside the bowl. Now, the only thing we will not put inside the bowl is the tomato because we don’t want a lot of moisture. We need a lot of herbs. I have some rosemary here, I have some oregano… in Greece, we love oregano. Some thyme… and of course, some basil. Put all the herbs in. Of course, some extra virgin Greek olive oil, add at least 5-6 tablespoons. Salt and pepper. We need to spice up our veggies a little bit… and now, it’s time for mixing. And I think my pan is extremely hot by now and please, do not add all the veggies in this pan. You have to put in batches, so at least four batches to give a nice caramelization. We need only one to two minutes in the pan, so let them cook correctly. As you can see, the first batch is ready so I will put in a roasting dish and I will carry on with the rest. And the last batch of vegetables… this is the secret of all recipes, vegetables. All these flavors combined to perfection and I will add now the tomato… inside the bowl. The zest and the juice of one lemon. The last ingredient, the honey. We need to give a nice glaze in the oven. We don’t need a lot of honey, just a bit, but it is very very important. Mix everything together… and it’s time to roast them. My oven is preheated to 180 degrees Celsius set to fan and I will cook them for about 40-45 minutes, until it is ready. It’s almost been forty minutes so my veggies are almost ready and I will prepare my glaze. I need one, two, three, four, five ingredients. Yogurt, parmesan, lemon, one egg, and some pepper. I will add the parmesan to give an Italian touch to my recipe. The zest of one lemon… one tablespoon of lemon juice, one egg… and a lot of pepper. This is an extremely easy recipe, you just mix everything together. Yogurt does all the job here and when this lovely glaze is ready, it’s time to pour it over the vegetables. So, take them out of the oven. It smells so nice! I will put the glaze on… don’t mix it, just pour it over the top. Of course, if you are fans of the glaze, you can make more but this is I think the best amount of glaze and put it again in the oven, until it is golden brown and crispy. Five minutes. And my roast vegetables are ready! Look at that… Amazing! In Greece, this dish is served as a main dish but of course, if you like, you can serve it as a side dish with a nice steak. You have all these lovely flavors from the vegetables and the acidity from the yogurt, and the sweetness from the vegetables and the honey… and this lovely juice. Look at this! This is unbelievable! This is something not only for vegetarian people but for everybody else. And it’s time to taste! It’s still very hot so I will try to say the rest things I have to say before I close this video. You need to subscribe to this channel, you need to make comments underneath the video, you need to share the recipe with your friends, and…now I have to try! It is so tasty but so hot! But I have to… I am unbeatable with veggies. It is amazing! Truly, this is something you have to try! See you next time, bye bye!
