Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

Preheat the oven to 180-200°C (top/bottom heat). Cut the vegetables into cubes or chunks and place them in a fireproof casserole dish. Pour over a cup of vegetable stock and half a cup of olive oil. Season with herbs (Provençal, thyme, oregano, etc.), salt, and pepper to taste. Braise the vegetables in the oven for about 45 minutes. Shortly before the vegetables are finished cooking, cook Greek rice noodles (50 to 100 g per person, depending on how much you eat and how hungry you are) and season the drained pasta with a knob of butter and a generous amount of cinnamon. Arrange the vegetables on a plate, add the pasta, and serve with Greek tzatziki.
