Speaking of briami ... I finally made it, but didn't have any of the famous juice. Are you supposed

to pile the veg up a bit in a baking dish, or spread it out more (which I did, in a roasting pan), which I guess would result in more juice. Still good, though. Leftovers for supper tonight.

 
Shaun, I only got it once...and that was the first time when I used all the oil

and the water and lots of zucchinis. Since then I've cut back the oil and tend to use more potatoes than zucs. I think that has impacted my results. It's drier and doesn't get as crispy.

(PS: I just re-read this and "well...duh!" is the only response I can make.)

 
I had the same problem. Charley thinks it was the size of my roasting pan...

too small. I used a 12x18x3 pan. Charley recommended a 9X13 one. I guess the veggies need to be piled very high. I used all the oil and water but still no juice. Some even "burned", although the scrapped up burned stuff was delicious.

 
I've only made large amounts for parties

and I use a large turkey roasting pan. There is always lots of sauce. The vegetables are piled pretty high in the pan, and it cooks for a long time.

 
I think there is a lot of room for variances in the sizes of the vegetables, especially the zucchini

I got tons more liquid when I put the full amounnt of veggies called for PLUS one large eggplant.

Delicious!

I have juice all the time, but I pile my roasting pan quite high and then have to stir

it up several times. I use less oil, some water but I also keep the pan covered with a piece of foil for the first 45 minutes or so, then uncover it for the rest of the roasting. It just dawned on me that I forgot the cheese last night---I must remedy that tonight! I added some rosemary to the pan last night, but I'm not liking it so much. I also add a generous splash around of balsamic sometimes.
